Goal contribution

While breaking the news, Simon seemed quite excited. It was almost as if he was desperately wishing to play them. 

Alex, however, showed no changes in his reaction as he refused to react. Wearing a rather solemn look on his face devoid of any emotions, he answered uninterestedly, "Oh..."

For a while, Simon continued to stare at him with longing eyes, anticipating further words from Alex. However, Alex remained silent, creating an awkward and eerie silence between them. 

"Only Oh?" Simon raised his voice as he complained, "Aren't you going to say something more?"

"But, what should I say?" Alex responded, dumbfounded by his friend's insistence. 

Alex's attitude was getting on his nerves, yet Simon couldn't bring himself to speak further as he was well aware of Alex's personality. Right now, all he was capable of was to calm himself down. 

Then to calm him down, he started taking deep breaths.
