Ben wasn't overly enthusiastic about another of Melody's plans, but stayed silent for a minute. If he refused to hear her out, she'd just do it anyway, he was convinced. That was what had happened every time she'd faced a problem in the past two months: she came up with a terrible solution, moved forward with it on her own, and left him to deal with the aftermath once he'd eventually figured out what was going on. So hearing about something before she'd gone three steps past the point of no return was a nice change, at least. If it was really stupid, maybe there was a chance that he could talk her out of it — but probably not. She'd demonstrated on several occasions that she held his thoughts and opinions in such low regard it never occurred to her to even stop and ask for them.

"There isn't a way out," he said with a sigh, shifting his gaze back towards her. "But alright. Go ahead."
