"I know," she said, looking down again. "I just wanted you to know." It seemed odd, in the back of her mind that she wanted his trust that much, but she didn't dwell on it. She didn't want to think of why it mattered, because she suspected it was because of Christine.
Lotte immediately shook her head. "I won't. Except the part about the voice, if Ella keeps pressing it." She looked up, asking again silently if it was alright. Another thought occurred to her and she nearly groaned. "But if we're going with our old plan for the moon, I might have to tell someone. My friend was planning to come up here and if Erik's downstairs..." Lotte bit her lip again; at this rate she was going to bleed. "I might need to give a reason for why we have to make sure Meg and Christine are quiet."
