Half of his expression was reined-in restraint, the other half something he couldn’t quite bring himself to say. She knew that if she softened now, this would probably die down. But the words had been said—she wasn’t about to backtrack. Besides, why should she be the one to cave? On the question of working, she’d done nothing wrong."
