"Nonsense," April piped in. "He might not say much, but everything you need to know is right there on his face. I knew from the first smile that you had a good heart, even if you didn't want to say anything about yourself." She squeezed his hand as she said it, her attention completely at him.
"And this is much better, lying isn't right anyway."
If Nate had had a drink like he so badly wanted, he would have spit it out or choked or something. He looked at April then Eliot. "You actually mean that, don't you?" he asked. "She does? You found an honest woman, you married an honest woman?"
