"I couldn't. I love you, too, Joe, but you know why that is."

"Both? You and Vera?"
"No. You and I, we both love you."
"That," said Joe peevishly, "is ridiculous. If you could think for yourself, you'd know it was ridiculous."
"Of course," she agreed. And frowned, because he was frowning.
"You act like a robot," Joe said.
She nodded.
