As Jamal and Abigail returned to the office after the meeting, they both had wide smiles on their faces.
"You really impressed them. They were a bit disappointed when you said you couldn't join them for the team dinner," Jamal said, and Abigail smiled as she signed.
[It's Josh's first day at school. I want to spend my evening with him. I want to know how school was.]
Jamal nodded. He heard the rest of the things she didn't say. She probably wanted to ask Josh questions and find out more about what he knew.
"I understand. I'll join them though. I can learn a thing or two them," Jamal said, and then smiled when he remembered he was yet to tell he had read the letter she wrote.
"By the way I enjoyed reading your letter," he said in a quieter voice meant for her ears alone, and Abigail smiled.
"Thanks for choosing to trust me. I'll explain things better to you when we have the chance to talk more freely," he promised, and she nodded.
