Dan tried to arrive earlier to the support group so he could talk to the boy about the previous day. The room was empty as usual, but one seat was taken. Dan got closer to it and asked with a really shy voice:
"Can I join you?"
"Oh, please" said the guy, patting the chair next to him.
Dan was surprised by his voice, it was way deeper than he expected.
"I'm sorry about yesterday" said Dan looking at his hands.
"It's okay" responded the boy with a smile on his face.

The silence was there, but it didn't bother any of them. Because neither of them knew what to say.
"The name is Phil, by the way"
