Far be it from Nate to admit when he was hopelessly out of his depth. "Um... You say he doesn't trust you," he said, "and you don't trust him. Trust takes more than a day, or a week, or a month, and it has to be earned..." Not that that was any kind of issue with him, or anything.
He scratched the back of his head, trying to conjure up some further response. "I can't tell you how to do that. No one can. So... I suggest we have another beer."
He had the oddest feeling there were two women somewhere out there who were laughing and didn't know why, but he wasn't going to acknowledge it.
