One evening after work Wendell Bray went to Jack's estate with a few files to talk to with Zack. He knocked on the door and Jack answered. "Wendell what's going on?"
"I actually wanted to see Dr. Addy about a couple of files for my dissertation. I'm almost done and I was wanting his input."
"He's in his office working. I don't think he'll want to be disturbed."
Zack had been in the kitchen and caught Jack's reply. He walked out into the foyer and asked, "Disturbed for what?"
"I thought you were writing and didn't want to be disturbed. Wendell wants your opinion on his dissertation."
"I'm finished for now. Come in Wendell. Would like anything to eat or drink?" Zack offered.
Wendell stepped inside and closed the door. "Soda if you have it Dr. Addy." Wendell replied.
"Follow me and call me Zack please." Zack went into the kitchen and picked up his drink and found a soda in the refrigerator. He handed it to Wendell and went to walk up the stairs to his office when Jack stopped him.
Jack whispered, "You okay helping him?"
Zack nodded and kissed Jack. "Everything's fine. I'll see you shortly."
They went up to Zack's office and Zack cleared his table of his book writings and sat down. Wendell sat his bag and files on the table in front of him and Zack asked, "What do you need help with?"
"I wanted you to read through my dissertation and let me know if it sounds right."
"Okay." He held his hand out and Wendell handed Zack his folder. Zack pulled out a pen and asked, "I can write on this copy correct?"
"Yeah."
Wendell watched as Zack skimmed the pages drawing lines and scribbling in the margins and murmuring to himself. An hour later Zack handed Wendell his papers back and said, "Here are my thoughts. I mainly corrected grammar and referred you to a couple of resources for your topic but that's it."
"Thanks Zack."
