But Nicole’s head shook in denial.

“No, Roscoe.”

Roscoe’s gaze was intense as he watched her silently.

Nicole turned her face away, not daring to look at him. She said, “My father’s support for your education was one thing. You don’towe me for the help you've given. You see, anyone entangled with me lately seems to suffer.”

Roscoe listened without a flicker of emotion across his face.

Her response came swift and sure.
