Re: Call: Luke/Wren
[With enough of a pause that it's clear she's considered it.] I don't kidnap kids anymore, Luke. I wouldn't even know where to start, and they don't actually hurt him. [A longer sigh.] And they're all he knows.
[The pause here is long, before she kicks herself back into the conversation.] You promise. You won't mention anything at all? You or Bruce? [She doesn't trust Bruce. No. Then, a grin, and her voice goes young and girlish.] Oui. I'd love to go out with you to some wonderfully romantic, as yet-undecided location. [She catches the almost laughter, even through her relief, which makes it into her voice.] Why are you almost laughing at me? And you're sure? Really, really sure?
