Curt was beginning to wish he hadn't come ether. No, not beginning.
"You don't have to go back," Curt said, not speaking the words but thinking them: to him. He wanted to put his hand on her shoulder, but touching her would be unbearable. "There must be something your father can do."

"I don't want Adrian to get involved," she said quickly. "It's bad enough he knows in the first place."

"Yes, to Raoul," Curt said, feeling a flare of wounded dignity even as he knew just the same as she did how badly that would go. "Would you rather I went to the police?"

"I think what happened last week is... I think something work-related came up and he had to handle it. I don't think it was anything to do with me. Now, if you want to go to the police over that, be my guest - You haven't got anything to go on, but it's safe to assume, I should say."

"You just said you didn't catch him. You aren't a hardened criminal. You're still new."

"Sometimes, I think you don't want to see me for who I am, no matter what I tell you," said Nina, a little more unkindly than she meant to say it.
