After hearing her best friend's advice, Laura was still nervous about contacting Ansel. She was worried he would ask questions that would make it difficult for her to answer. She was afraid he would feel uncomfortable around her, as their relationship had always been more than just friends.
Her hands continued to tremble as she held her phone. She had decided to call Ansel, but ten minutes had passed, and she was still afraid to do so. She kept controlling her breathing to avoid appearing nervous during the phone conversation. Finally, she was ready to call him, regardless of the questions he might ask.
"Ansel, how is your cheek? Is it getting better?"
"Of course. It's all thanks to you for treating me yesterday. Thank you, Laura."
Laura's smile widened as she turned her chair around happily. "Even though things are getting better, don't forget to use the ointment regularly."
