"Devin?"

Devin turned to look at Sweetie. "Yes?"

"I'm sorry, about what I said," she said again. "I am. I am and I'm not," she said. "Why didn't you research stuff before coming on that train? Researching something so basic?"

"You are taking care of us," Sweetie remarked. "Even though they are not yours. You are already doing and promising so much. I'm not . . . as sweet as I used to be," she admitted. "I only seem to be. With my bastards all gone, and new people in the house that I don't know, I need to get us out as soon as it's safe. It's not a stretch for me to play that way."
