Adia listens with a warm look. "Oh, Victor," is what she wants to say. Leave it to Victor to feel humble and embarrassed by something almost everyone does on a daily basis. Instead, she smiles and replies, "It makes perfect sense to me. You didn't want him to be upset and a lot of times appeasing someone is easier than dealing with whatever upset them in the first place. And, y'know, honesty is good, but it's kind of irritating if it isn't tempered with kindness. Some people are blunt to the point of obnoxiousness." Not her new beau, hopefully, or she wouldn't be dating him. But she can't help but think, briefly, that he could use a small dose of Victor's humility.
