Was she supposed to be shaking?
She was shaking. All of her was shaking.
“Nervous?” He asked gently, but she shook her head. She smiled demurely, calmly, and took a deep breath. She could do this. She had to. She didn’t have a choice.

“They have.”
“And do you run them off?”
“No. Never. What you do in your own time is your own business.”
