"Why are you getting so nervous whenever you talk to me? Don't be afraid of me. I only want to be nice to you. I want you to be at ease with me whenever you face me. I will never hurt you. Do you trust me?"Sam wanted to make sure that his sweetheart is alright and she is not panicking. Christine nodded her head in affirmation.
"I will first take you to buy a new SIM card for your phone in a nearby store and then we will go to Anna's place. We need your ID proof for the SIM card. Go and bring your passport. Wear more clothes, it's cold outside at this hour."
Christine went to change into outerwear in the guest room. She also took her handbag and kept the passport, photocopies in the bag. The mobile store was in the vicinity. Sam and Christine did not drive to the shop. Sam gave her a quick overview of the network providers available in Country N. Then, he suggested her top 2 network providers. Christine chose the network provider the same as Sam.
