"Oh," Noble said. Usually he was good at small talk with anyone, and — he could not recall ever having been at a loss for words around her before. I'm sorry, I can't tell you, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. He couldn't tell her. Telling her would have ruined everything just as much as not telling her had, and would have put them all in danger besides, but — he regretted it.
His expression was that of a person on the verge of apologizing, but what he said instead was, "It was nice to see you, too. I hope you're enjoying your night." It was true, even if he — definitely hoped she hadn't enjoyed talking to Mr. Grimstone too much.
