Re: Eliot/Nate
Eliot stared at Nate for a moment before laughing, deep and true. "You think she played you?" That was priceless. Eliot clapped Nate on the shoulder, still chuckling. "She's an 'honest woman' remember? You even pointed that out to me. She doesn't have a manipulative bone in her body. She believes what she says wholeheartedly. At most, she'd butter you up by making you your favorite meal." Or with sex, but that was for Eliot's benefit only.
Eliot shook his head with a smile. "She doesn't trick people. She's not like us. She's not like anyone I've ever met. She's not devious, or duplicitous. It's one of the reasons I trust her implicitly. Our non-dead friend might be a good person at heart, but she's definitely a puppet-master. My wife is just a truly good person with bad taste in men."
