I referred to my "soothing" voice today with enough amusement and obvious quotation marks that he went ahead and used "somewhat flat" instead.
And at the end of the session, I asked if he had missed me. He hemmed and hawed and said that he missed being here in the office and of course he missed seeing me, and his clients. Then he added with more genuineness that he was happy to see me today and was glad I had decided to come.
I laughed that I could tell when he was lying, and that he was happy to see me today, but he didn't miss me at all last week. He was so flustered he almost forgot to tell me to call if I needed to.
:)
Perhaps I ought to let him be polite sometimes.
But frankness is somehow more appealing to me. Probably because I'm that secure with him. Certainly I'm not in favor of wanton frankness.
