"And if Tracy finds you here, you're going to have to calm her down." Brian started to justify his stay, but Rachel cut him off. "Just leave. I don't want to hear it." "Alright, I won't say anything more. I'll stay until you're asleep, then I'll go," he replied.

He opened his mouth to speak, but Rachel turned away sharply, presenting only her back to him.

Brian held back the words he had intended to say. As he neared the door, her voice stopped him.

"Wait!" Her voice was gentle and soothing.

A glimmer of hope shone in his eyes as he turned back.

However, Brian seized her wrist. "I haven't refused. Do I need to bring anything for dinner? Any particular considerations?" At his words, Rachel experienced a wave of relief. Without his agreement, she dreaded the thought of facing Jeffrey alone the next day.
