[She gives him a wry look.]

I don't know. Too much "appreciation" can lead to people getting a big head. And we wouldn't want that.

Despite the testimony of the past several months, it was hard to believe he'd really had his pick of anyone in Luceti and had chosen her.

What is going on here?

[The sound of moving, the door propped opened--

She grips his hand a little more tightly. If she'd walked in on someone in her house moving out...]
