"Do you care enough?"
"More than enough. Don't you? … It's no use saying you don't. I know you do."
"Can you tell?"
"Yes."
"Do I go about showing it?"
"No; there hasn't been time. You only began yesterday."
"When? When?"
"In the hotel. When you stopped talking suddenly. And when I gave you your book. You looked as though you wished I hadn't. As though I'd dragged you away from somewhere where you were happy."
"Yes…. If it only began yesterday we can stop it. Stop it before it gets worse."
"I can't. I've been at it longer than that."
