Aria Lulu wasn't afraid of him. During the two months Trenton Smith had been away, because Zelda Swallow had been backing her, she had become very accustomed to squeezing everything she could out of him.
When Rufus Swallow left, she followed right behind him.
Rufus Swallow got in the car, and Aria Lulu also got into the passenger seat.
Trenton Smith stood at the doorway, looking indifferently as Rufus Swallow drove away with Aria Lulu, his face unhappy.
They seemed to get along quite well.
He found Aria Lulu annoying, but with Rufus Swallow there to take the abuse for him, he was happy to have a break.
Zelda Swallow came over, supporting himself with a cane, "You're about to get engaged, too. Talk more with Aria, what's with the cold face all the time?"
Trenton Smith took a drag of his cigarette and glanced at him, "What could I possibly talk to her about?"
