Emmeline sensed that he relaxed just a fraction, though she did not lower her guard. That was not especially high just for him; she had not let her guard down at all since returning to England.

She had not made up her mind what to think of the fact that he'd given the information that had nearly gotten her killed, and she was willing to listen.

In truth, her main motivation in being here was to discover whether she could believe that they were still truly working for the same thing. If the information also served to prevent a future attack on her life, so much the better.
