“lan’s on his way over Could you give us some space?”
Dylan wasn’t so naive. He knew that lan seeking Judith out wasn’t a positive sign.
“Judith, you haven’t been up to anything have you?”
Judith was about to deny it, but then remembered Maja, unconscious in the hallway, her fate unknown

“No, I’ve been taking care of myself these days”
