It was 6 Am. in the morning and the cozy living room of Shaheera's and Jasra’s apartment was buzzing with activity. Suitcases were scattered around as she and Jasra prepared for the upcoming business trip to France. Jasra couldn't help but tease Shaheera for taking what seemed like her entire wardrobe for just a seven-day trip.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4RsS8ys1z
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcyz7AcJQM
"Seriously, Shaheera, do you plan on opening a boutique there?" Jasra joked, eyeing the mountain of clothes that Shaheera was trying to fit into her suitcase.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbyjOq2ryq
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiZeNqBVrS
Shaheera laughed, brushing off her friend's playful banter. "I just want to be prepared for any occasion. You never know what might come up during the conference."837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPu09zTqZIl
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQUeEQECkK
Amidst the packing chaos, Shaheera couldn't resist asking Jasra about work. "By the way, who will be taking over for Hasan while he's away at the conference?"837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcZV5E4KRu
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87WDiWcdCI
Jasra's face lit up with amusement. "Oh, it's going to be Yaasir. He's quite the character, and he's definitely funnier than Hasan. Mr. I-Know-everything is about as funny as a dead body."837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtXd9oRGGN
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegBUfXT2tx
Shaheera chuckled, remembering their lighthearted encounter in the parking lot. It had been some time since she had heard from Hasan, and she wondered if he was doing well.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGd1uUPRyb
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBolrwNP2Nk
After what seemed like an eternity of packing, a car horn honked outside. It was Thomas, Rima, and Mark, who had come to pick her up for their trip to the airport. Shaheera quickly donned her beige hijab and joined her friends in the car, her suitcase finally zipped shut.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6P6DV4FTn
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizuqnas7ff
“Be careful!” Jasra shouted from the window. “And come back with real chocolate! I can deal with the one they sell here.”837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYk8Qkn6pv
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHlOrYqbv8
The car ride to the airport was filled with laughter and singing, as they decided to have an impromptu karaoke session to lighten the mood. Shaheera felt grateful for the companionship of her friends, and the nervousness she had felt about the trip began to subside. At the airport, they smoothly navigated through the check-in and security process. However, at the security checkpoint, Shaheera encountered a small challenge. She was asked to remove her hijab for security purposes, which left her feeling a bit uneasy. Rima quickly stepped in, offering her jacket to cover Shaheera while she complied with the security procedures. Her friends' support made her feel more at ease, and she knew that she was not alone in these moments of discomfort.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSKgoOajzZ
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9DDT0SZkJ
Once on the plane, Shaheera found her seat near the aisle, and she couldn't believe her eyes when she saw someone familiar walking down the aisle. It was Hasan. They both smiled at the serendipitous encounter, and Shaheera introduced him to her friends and colleagues.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSangbVEd1G
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9CeKJ0VNv
“Hasan! What are you doing here?” She asked her smile as wild as the pleasure she felt to see him after so long. Hasan smile disappeared, seeing her friends behind her looking at him, wondering who he was. He coughed a little, making himself time to build his confidence back. And with his usual stoic face, he answered her.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9nzS9F09W
“Well, I’m going to the conference. The same one you invited me.”837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJouYY35g6m
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQhD65dYib
Shaheera looked nervous. “You’re stupid,” she thought to herself. “Of course, he’s going to the conference, what did you think he would answer?”837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjej8g1lGcV
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3E8NO38qW
"Yes of course” she chuckled shyly. “Hmm, well, Hasan meet Thomas, Rima, and Mark. They are the wonderful people I get to work with," Shaheera said with a warm smile trying to hide her embarrassment.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTFh6M3d4s
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroS3pvC8kA
"Nice to meet all of you," Hasan greeted them politely, his eyes lingering on Shaheera. "I didn't expect to see you on this flight."837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaY7gKeQ9o
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxulZChOWe
"It was the cheapest," Rima chimed in with a playful wink.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDk965FtSEP
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDBWee8eDe
As Hasan took the seat next to the aisle, Shaheera felt a sense of comfort knowing she wouldn't be alone during the long journey. Shaheera was sitting by the aisle, on the right side of the plane. To his left was Rima, deep in conversation with Thomas. Hasan sat next to Shaheera, on the other side of the aisle, on the right side of the plane. Mark to his right. Shaheera smiled at him and then joined Thomas and Rima’s conversation waiting for teh plane to take off. However, she heard her right deep breath. She looked at Hasan and saw him eyes closed.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMIT4wyEQ5
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gSb5E5CB0
“Scared of planes?” she asked in a low voice, leaning in the aisle.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkelffi735D
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sDDDXlu9x
“You’re not?” he answered his eyes still closed, head back.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKJZeGkA9V
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFna1s3L4bU
“I’ve taking planes since I was a baby.” she laughed. Hasan didn’t answer anything and just kept his eyes closed. “Come on, Hasan, it's just a short flight to France near Switzerland. We'll be there before you know it."837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWR7IeZMTG
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfXFoUTr3Y
"Just a short flight, huh?" Hasan said, trying to sound nonchalant. "I guess you're right. I've flown many times before."837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXU7oVIjCVa
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamYoRj5dpo
Shaheera knew that Hasan was trying to put on a brave front, but she also knew that his fear was genuine. She decided to engage him in conversation to take his mind off the flight. "Need anything?” she finally asked softly. Hasan looked at her, astonished to hear her usual joyful voice, calm and almost tender. Her eyes were full of concern and her mouth forming a grin. he closed his eyes rapidly.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCb9oLUsTyx
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9C8bcZFu6
“Just … Talk to me? If you don’t mind?” he asked shyly. She had never seen him so vulnerable.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjD6K17n0Wr
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDJWuktsLN
"So, have you ever been to France before?" Shaheera asked, hoping to steer the conversation to a more pleasant topic.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡal9mK8wDCM
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYL7lev7cO5
"No, this will be my first time," Hasan replied, his voice a bit tense. "I'm looking forward to exploring a new country, though."837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2a9lwPSrRu
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9wdEJkk3a
"That's great! France is beautiful, and I'm sure you'll love it," Shaheera said warmly. "We have some exciting plans lined up for the conference and a bit of sightseeing, too."837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTS6dIcZP2o
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZ8ttPl9rv
Hasan nodded, trying to focus on the positive aspects of the trip. "Yes, I've heard that the conference is going to be quite interesting. I'm looking forward to it."837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSolMdFO27
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhz2B48ATX4
As the flight progressed, Shaheera kept the conversation light and engaging, talking about their travel experiences and sharing funny anecdotes from previous trips. She cracked jokes and teased Hasan playfully, trying to make him laugh.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC10FKGNEhV
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgm4DAdWEL
"You know, Hasan, I heard that airplanes are statistically safer than cars. So, technically, we're in good hands!" Shaheera said with a smirk.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcPADBkVUf
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuHPDuyS4U
Hasan couldn't help but chuckle, "I suppose you're right. I'll just have to trust in the statistics."837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhma42Owe6
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGVlMsxLAz
"That's the spirit!" Shaheera exclaimed, giving him an encouraging pat on the shoulder.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJJWvHSr6C
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGigcbCHhf
As the flight continued, Shaheera and Hasan chatted about their favorite foods, music, and hobbies, discovering shared interests and laughing at each other's quirks.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqi0Ty1gbI
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOUMN5AnIy
"By the time we land, you'll forget all about your fear of flying," Shaheera said confidently, giving him a wink.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgO8UwJlHE
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiD2emjYC4C
Hasan smiled genuinely, "I have to admit, you're quite the distraction. Thanks for keeping me company."837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOAGDvGo9y
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4R85JmsKIS
"It's my pleasure," Shaheera replied warmly. "We're in this together, and I won't let you feel anxious alone."837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8YVar3BOr
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGZfNGWZnv
With Shaheera's humor and support, the flight that once seemed daunting became more bearable for Hasan. He found himself enjoying their conversation, forgetting about his fear, if only for a little while.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnA0OZk6MH
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRRL5hkK1c
Time seemed to fly by as they exchanged stories and laughter, the hours on the plane passing by in a blur of meaningful conversations. Shaheera felt a newfound connection with Hasan, and the chemistry between them was undeniable.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hgU4aTBE0
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBw1SKPB3Sj
As they flew towards the border of Switzerland, the sun began to set, painting the sky with hues of pink and orange. The beauty of the moment was not lost on Shaheera, and she couldn't help but share the view with Hasan.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTPhpjFRr4
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PfCfn6PnS
"Look outside, Hasan. The sunset is breathtaking," she said, pointing to the window.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAhcVLIbhl
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ51fIy9PCq
Hasan followed her gaze and admired the scenery. "It's stunning," he replied softly looking back at her, not sure if the compliment was for the vue or her.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0H7jU8CDr
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3pCLQ2FJe
Shaheera blushed, feeling her heart skip a beat at his words. The playful teasing and professional facade seemed to have dissolved, leaving behind a tender connection that was impossible to ignore.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKiWshD1b9
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VlJPYjcKL
The plane's tires gently touched the tarmac as it landed at the airport in France, near the Switzerland border. Shaheera, Thomas, Rima, Mark, and Hasan disembarked, the excitement of the trip still lingering in the air. Amidst the joyful chatter of her friends and colleagues, Hasan remained quiet, his mind preoccupied with thoughts he dared not express.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7r0tk0w3Z
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡba7exHbXnF
As they made their way through the airport, Mark detached himself from the group and approached Hasan with a friendly smile. For a moment, Hasan wondered if Mark was the one Shaheera was promised to marry, his heart clenching at the thought. However, he pushed those thoughts aside, keeping his emotions hidden behind a stoic facade.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHfnsWZBCE
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAH4Y7pjGs7
The group gathered outside the airport, and a friendly taxi driver approached them, speaking rapidly in French. Hasan looked at him with a blank expression, not understanding a word. Shaheera came to the rescue, fluently conversing with the driver and providing the destination details of their hotel.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo73Y7dEDYK
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kp3aX9rzE
They split into two cars due to space constraints, and Hasan found himself in one with Thomas and Mark. Thomas expressed his delight at having Shaheera on the team, while Mark playfully teased that Thomas was lucky. Hasan listened in silence, the doubts he harbored growing stronger with each passing word.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqj2A3MyaAn
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobSHoUd6oO
“So,” he finally said out loud after long minutes of silence, “You and Shaheera are …” he waited for one of them to finish.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpf8w223G2E
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHmgkDmP2h
“Oh no!” Mark finally said, laughing shyly, scratching the back of his head. “We’re just good friends, she supported me when I decided to convert. Nothing going on between us.”837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13bRtyEO2l
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSgiOWUsLb
“But you wish!” Interrupted Thomas.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqJhBZsh9f
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuUWwaeOTx
Their voices faded into the background as Hasan's thoughts consumed him. He couldn't help but wonder about the unspoken feelings between him and Shaheera. Still, he chose to remain silent, convinced that it was best to keep his emotions concealed.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrCNPPsUeC
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Olv7hJzjT
The journey to their hotel was long and Hasan stayed reserved, his attention shifting between the interactions around him and the views outside the window. The Alps loomed in the distance, their majestic peaks seemingly mirroring the uncertainty he felt within.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqlNK5nLcM
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JT52ZFPxx
Arriving at the hotel, Hasan noticed Shaheera and Rima chatting animatedly as they entered the lobby. He admired Shaheera's energy and charm from afar, captivated by her presence.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbi2xQAyQe
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbw4o5gFcQC
As the hours passed, the group settled into their rooms, each preparing for a much-needed rest after the long journey. He couldn't deny the connection they shared, but fear held him back from expressing his feelings. And in this moment his mother was searching for him to marry. Someone he would share his life with.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPElfv2VAQj

The conference preparation was in full swing, and Shaheera found herself working late into the night to ensure everything was ready for the big day. As the only one fluent in French, she took charge of handling all the intricate details of the event, making sure nothing was overlooked. After the long trip they had, all she wanted was to go to sleep and take a bath if she could.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUKNtss0rP
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAY2QkyY8h
The hotel receptionist seemed to be inattentive, and Shaheera was growing frustrated. She had reserved a specific room for the conference, and when she arrived to check on its setup, she found it messy and unclean.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSiXKRqCtfD
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9dztufPf7
"Excuse me," Shaheera said, trying to keep her composure, "but this room was supposed to be cleaned and ready for the conference. We have just two days left!"837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXYYwRHWRM
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yTA3cJ68e
The receptionist glanced at her briefly before returning to whatever he was doing, seemingly uninterested.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ09a1omGa2
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcQT9q4lwF
Hasan, who had been roaming restlessly outside the hotel lobby, unable to find sleep, noticed Shaheera at the reception desk, fervently discussing the situation.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xNOsxcuSv
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfT1zmrW7F
"What is she doing here at this hour?" Hasan wondered.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAi6WodIj7
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2mvuU3WdV
As he was about to step in and offer his help, Mark appeared out of nowhere and offered his assistance to Shaheera.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXDc9Tj9Ce
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicGrKH7q94
"Hey, need a hand with something? I can help," Mark said with a cheerful smile.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIedIPl5IoI
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBbTgnWI0W
Shaheera looked thankful but declined politely, "Thank you, Mark, but it's okay. You should get some rest. I'll manage."837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiCx8emwgn
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09YfCMerZ6
Mark insisted playfully, "You sure? I'm here if you need anything."837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrKuNlufhS
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34lWOOZuZQ
"I appreciate it, but really, you should go and rest. I'll handle this," Shaheera assured him with a bitter smile.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymFkI0p5o4
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdPDIeg7Mx
Mark bid her goodnight and left, still unaware of Hasan's presence nearby. As soon as Mark disappeared, Hasan stepped forward, deciding it was his moment to intervene.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgiKbhL9MR
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFuiznFKB1
"Hey, Shaheera, do you need any help?" Hasan asked softly.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfY0He2zqc5
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgiLwYI77v
Shaheera turned, surprised to see Hasan standing there. A smile lit up her face, "Hasan! It's good to see you. You know, you have a knack for showing up at just the right time."837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48C9h0vXC5
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81EnM4oMLF
Hasan chuckled, "Really? No one's ever told me that I have good timing before."837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XcgsTj7xX
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCa1oLSH4AP
"Well, I'm telling you now. You have perfect timing!" Shaheera said with a teasing glint in her eyes.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtGyiX7Odo
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyYXvXqiK6
They shared a laugh, and Hasan felt a sense of warmth in Shaheera's presence. The receptionist came back and explained to Shaheera the procedure and what the hotel could do for the room to be prepared in time. Hasan felt stupid. He had offered his help but with no French he was useless. he just states beside her, arms crosses, looking indifferent like he was always looking. the problem handled, they moved away from the reception desk, standing near a window overlooking the night-lit city.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQO2Uqvs5z
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllC5GF7VSE
"You know," Shaheera began, her tone softer now, "I left France to come to Canada for a fresh start. It was a big decision, leaving everything behind, but I needed a change. It’s weird to come back."837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMH1A5XQia9
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTXL0U0I4J

"Why did you choose Canada?" Hasan inquired with genuine curiosity.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjB061bIBu
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFT9t7rL1G
"I had always dreamt of experiencing life in a different country, and Canada seemed like the perfect place. It's diverse, welcoming, and has so much to offer," Shaheera explained thoughtfully. “And I love snow” she finished.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiWe4pWiHk
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnl7Q3Lav12
Hasan admired Shaheera's resilience and courage. He could see the determination in her eyes as she talked about her journey. However, when it came to sharing his own life story, he hesitated.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TZhYiaUHD
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDFMB0WbLn
"You've adapted so well. It's admirable. And you know, I've never really went to Pakistan. I sometimes regret this decision" Hasan revealed with a hint of vulnerability.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxULoeY3pw

"Really? I bet it's an incredible place. You should consider traveling sometimes," Shaheera suggested warmly.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynvoGa2pRN
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQoNqxriFx
"Maybe I will, someday," Hasan replied, a faint smile playing on his lips, but he didn’t say more. They fell into a comfortable silence, both lost in their thoughts and the night's tranquility.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pfbjpy05b

“I’m sure I’ll reciprocate. No plan for a wedding?” She finally asked. Hasan eyes stopped their contemplation of the sky and went to her. This would have been the perfect moment to confess. But from what he heard from Jasra, she was engaged. And even though they knew each other for such a short time, all he wanted was to see her smile. either it was with him or not. He coughed a little, his eyes drifting back to the sky above.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4cuFbBOSj

“Arranged marriage. My mother is looking for someone who could share my life,” he said in a low voice, almost like a whisper. To make it sound like a lie or a dream that was never real. because the person he wanted to learn about and marry was right beside him. “You?

Hasan thought he was falling for a second. She was not engaged? What did that witch of Jasra say? The weight of uncertainty that had been pressing on him since their encounter in the parking lot suddenly lifted, and a glimmer of hope sparked within him. He couldn't deny the rush of relief and excitement that washed over him, knowing that she was still available. But he kept his emotions carefully concealed, unsure of what the future held for them.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0b4HpOuSN

Hasan couldn't help but feel a growing fondness for Shaheera, appreciating her honesty and kindness. But he knew that their connection went beyond mere friendship, and he felt the pull of emotions that he was not yet ready to confront.
