He's Dating the Russian Swimmer

"I wanted to ask about how things are between you and Dino," Wilson replied calmly and seriously.

"Oh. About that, I...Dino and I are still not in the normal way that we are. I mean, he's still feeling awkward with me, and that's why we don't talk or even walk together often," Eric replied. "And that's why I'm having some regrets about telling him about my feelings."

"I see. So, what do you plan to do now?" Wilson asked curiously.

Eric took a moment to think before answering, "Honestly, I still don't know except to not talk to Dino for the time being."

"Alright. Dino needs some time to get over it after all," Wilson responded seriously. "And that's why you're doing rather great."

"Thanks, Wilson," Eric replied, feeling somewhat relieved that someone praised him for what he is doing currently.

"'Thank you'? For what?" Wilson inquired, feeling somewhat confused.

"For saying that I'm doing great," Eric answered happily.
