Wide-eyed, she bolted to the door. Her back against it, she looked at him and spoke.

"Please, I know what you are capable of and I don't want to have you apprehended. No one in the village can speak of such intellectual things as you can."

She paused and looked him straight in the eye.

"It would be a waste having you incarserated or dead rather than here."

With that she undid the chain lock and was about to leave until she heard him speak.

"Dinner at seven."

She looked back at him looking out the window. She smiled and left.
