"You're telling me you just...grabbed my daughter randomly at a train station?"

"Mother, Lee's mission had gone bad. He had no backup. He could have been killed." Amanda's throat tightened, roughening her voice. Lee's arm went around her. "So he recruited me."

"Mrs. West-"

Dotty pointed. "I've told you: Dotty. Wait." Her eyes narrowed. "Wasn't that dangerous? And...grabbed her how?"

Amanda patted his hand on her elbow. "He put his arm around me, just like this, and said, 'Walk with me.'"

Dotty gaped. "That's it?"

"Yes." Amanda kissed him, then leaned on his shoulder. "And I have, ever since."
