Steve | Torunn
It's not about what's necessary, and you know that. We all know you're going to be fine, we trust you to tell us if you're not, just like you trust me to be genuine. Nobody wants to start this off that way, the circumstances are bad enough as they are.
This is about peace of mind, about being there for your team. Maybe you don't want to talk about that, or think about it if things went wrong back home, but that's not the way it is here. Everyone is okay and just worried about you. James cares Torunn. He cares a lot, I'm sure I don't have to tell you that, and it would mean the world to him to just even be told that you're okay? I'm not trying to push you, I understand you want to handle this on your own, to not burden anyone, but I promise you that's not happening either. You're someone he values, someone he knows, one of the only people really right now from what I can tell who's from his own time and place.
Turn the tables, what would you do if James told you that you couldn't see him?
