It was nice to see the calm and smiling, friendly face in the audience. He knew that she'd come for him. He'd already decided that he would answer anything that she wanted to know, though he hadn't told her. He just expected her to ask if she thought of anything.
She, above anyone, had been the kindest to him. And she was his friend. She had said that they were going to try to be friends, really be friends. He had been doing his best.
He hoped that this wasn't as stressful to her as it was to him.
