*But despite his reluctance, he figured that maybe telling her would break another barrier between them.*

*There was a pause. This was proving harder than he thought.*
"Yeah," *he finally said.* "She would be... one of quite a few reasons."

*Suddenly, she informed him,*
"My middle name's Euphrasie-Antoinette."
