She'd look at me with her usual nervousness, but as I focused on her, I realized that Keroline wasn't actually nervous, it was a condition. In fact, she had become deathly calm, I hoped she'd pass up on her questions, but she didn't. In fact, she'd stand to address me.
"If I may... one of, or rather, two of our 'visitors' have gotten a good look at you, and what they have to say is... interesting... I will give you the option to not answer, but, can I ask what I want to anyway...?" She'd look me straight in the eyes, and as nervous as she seemed, she never broke eye contact.
As I considered if I should have allowed her the question or not, I'd feel someone take hold of wrist, Stella. As I looked at her, I could see the uncertainty in her eyes, a warning.
