She nodded slowly, feeling a sense of defeat wash over her. "Okay," she said, her voice barely above a whisper. "But we're not done with this conversation, Michael. I want the truth." Michael's smile was reassuring, but his eyes seemed to hold a hint of relief. "I promise, Madison. We'll talk later. Now, go and get some rest."
