You are an excellent student and have always been very punctual and polite. Therefore, if you do feel overwhelmed and need a break, I will fully understand.”

“Oh, okay, well… thank you very much, Dr. Curry. I really appreciate that, but hopefully it won’t be needed,” Cara politely replied.

“He was the best, you know…” Dr. Curry replied. “Such a shame what happened to his father, not to mention to him.”

“I agree…” Cara wasn’t sure what else to say.

“Well, I won’t keep you any longer. Good day, Miss Knox.”

“See you tomorrow, Dr. Curry.”
