*It’s not obvious, but--fine, she’ll trust the girl’s judgement. If anything, she has more invested in Evan’s well-being than Esmerelda herself.*
Clearly I underestimated you.
But you see what I mean. Another bride, from a related family--they would already know, I wouldn’t have to ask. If you weren’t aware, or if your allegiances lay elsewhere, there would have to be arrangements to ensure my family’s safety, if you find such loyalties too compromising. Weaker women might shy from such things.
*She pauses, and tugs on the sleeve again. It’s as close to an apology as she’ll ever come.*
I’m glad he’s involved you. It’s best to be involved.
