Nettie shook her head as she gave a weak smile. "It isn't anything to worry about. Just.. family matters. I am grateful that you even listen. You are very patient and understanding. I wish I could give you something in return for all the kindness you have given me." She looked up at him and became embarrassed before speaking again. "I would like to perhaps.. meet again . I still think fondly on our first meeting and we still should meet up and read together sometime."
