Wilson winced as he knew his best friend, Nathans, words were painfully true. "You are right, my friend," he said. "But you don't have to be so plainfully true." Nathan chuckled and tapped his friend on the shoulder. "Trust, they say, is bitter, my friend," he said as he laughed. "I'd say you take it head on like a man that you are." "You make all of these sound so easy," Wilson mumbled. "But I tell you it is most definitely not. You are bound to slip one way or the other."

Trust isn’t about never doubting, it’s about being able to ask and still believe the answer.” I looked at her. “You really think he’s genuine?” She nodded without hesitation. “Yes. I’ve watched him.

He shrugged, getting to his feet. "You're sure she can still be trusted?" He halted in his tracks, facing his brother's piercing look. "What do you mean?"
