He nodded when she said she was fine. I'm glad, he responded. And he was. If she hated him, he figured this conversation would be going differently. Though it felt polite on his part, instead of familiar, he'd take what he could get.
He shrugged at her question. I'm just doing my rounds, he said, though it wasn't really an answer to her question. If she had asked what he was doing, then that would have been an answer. But, he knew what she was asking, he just wasn't sure what to say. Never in his life had he done something like that, and never in his life would he feel both the need for what he had done, and that he had betrayed his nieces and nephews by doing it.
