Haruki didn't say anything against his decision. They had a normal conversation, with Haruki asking about his work and Hiroshi inquiring about Haruki's rest.
Haruki looked down at the phone when the call ended. He was away for only a few days and some butterflies had begun flapping their light wings around his doctor.
He had no desire to stop the doctor, even though he hated the idea. Hiroshi will be with Aki and the doctor has proven repeatedly that he can be trusted.
That still didn't mean he was happy about it. He had used up a lot of mental energy to prevent himself from forbidding Hiroshi from meeting with Miyoko. Miyoko was the lady he wanted to get engaged with, he had made the move with Miyoko, while Miyoko liked the doctor and made every move.
He had the doctor's full attention, or at least that was what he told himself as he picked up his tablet to resume reading the report he was scrolling through before Hiroshi's text came in.
