บท 146: The confession

"How do you feel today Ms Li Heya?" The older woman asked her in pure English when they spoke on video that weekend. 

"I... think I'm good." She said, smiling politely at the woman. Maybe because the woman was from a different country entirely that made her feel very comfortable and since they were doing this virtually, it made things easy for her. 

"You think?" The woman asked. "Why do you 'think' you are good?" 

"I.. don't know. I'm just nervous."

"And why is that so?" 

"Well... I... have a date today." She answered with a sheepish smile. "It's just making me feel rather nervous." 

The woman smiled warmly at her. "I understand. It is normal to be nervous. But it is not normal when the anxiety you feel—"

"I know Mrs. Cameron. I don't look down on myself or anything. I just... you know... it all feels so... new. Soooo nice. I really really love him. I just... want everything to be perfect." She bit her lower lip nervously.
