Stephen let the silence linger.
Helen shifted. “So? Aren’t you going to keep demanding answers?”
Stephen quelled the rising nausea. “Same old story.” He shrugged. “Good intentions, bad outcome.”
She looked skeptical.
Stephen leaned forward. “I want to trust you.”

She lifted her eyebrows. “That’s it?”
“I imagine not.” He picked up his fork. “But we shouldn’t talk business. Not on our first proper date.”
Helen watched him take the bite. Then she smiled, touching his free hand. “I knew I was right choosing you.”
