No trap at all, and no lure, it's just the offer of a book. To Ami, it's much simpler than Robert seems to find it. Of course, she had partly laid out all those rationalizations to reassure him, but each of them was true. She flashes another of those smiles that seem to come much easier to her these days (these days? compared to which days?) and leads the way.

"If you find something especially interesting, please share what you conclude from it with me," is her only other request in return for the loan of the book.
