You're Going To Miss Him, Aren't You?

Was that an actual compliment from her usually silent friend? Blaise never said anything he didn't mean and also wasn't the kind to mince his words. Abby was confused. He had never complimented her before.

"Really?" she asked skeptically.

He nodded. "Yes. I believe that with you here to aid your sister the Kanta will continue to reach new heights."

That was one of the nicest things he could have said to her. He believed in her capabilities even though he had never seen her do anything of note. Their conversations primarily consisted of silly childhood stories from home and commentary on the journey.

Blaise didn't know that she had gotten an academic scholarship into a prestigious university or gotten into a fairly large graphic design firm straight out of school. There was nothing in this world that would indicate her intelligence.
