You are quite welcome, dear friend.

[There is silence on his side, too. It lasts a moment before he sighs on his end of the call.]

It would surely be better she is late than to find ourselves considering the alternative.

[standvastig]

If you think as much, I would prefer you not mention "the alternative" at all.

[Hendrik's voice goes flat again the moment something negative creeps into the conversation.]

[leitstern]

Fine. Call me when you realise "the alternative" is the only solution to this riddle.

[With that, he hangs up.]

[Perhaps It is definitely stubbornness that leads to no follow-up call, even hours after the fact. There is nothing else to be said as he returns to the house and immediately sets about growing vegetables in the garden.]
