Vlad sighed, raising his eyes upward before looking back down at Boyd. "Peter is a good, reliable man... but that is not always enough in a marriage." Considering that she was tied to both Shane and Daniel, he doubted that she would be the sort to judge, but he was still reluctant to share the details.
"We do not have something going, no." He paused, adding a silent 'not yet' to the sentence. "But... as you have already noticed, I do care about her." If Boyd hinted that she might mention something to either Helena or Peter, he would simply claim that his feelings were those of a friend and nothing more.
