"Dangerous?" Vanelee questioned Nina with his warm grey eyes. "Do you know what the Duke is up to?"
Seeing a look of slight despair on his young miss' face, Vanelee stopped talking and agreed with her that they needed a plan.
'HIS young miss?' Vanelee thought t himself as he turned to consult with the others. "When did I start thinking of Nina as belonging to me? I'm sure she wouldn't like that, not one bit. But it's different with her I suppose...she wouldn't be mine..she'd just be...'
Vanelee meant to turn back around to whisper something to Nina, but decided against it at the last moment. Wrenching to brain to disenage the thought. 'Best to just smile and be silent.'
Again turning back to the others, Vanelee spoke. "So are we all in agreeance that THIS time we'll plan before acting."
Vanelee kept a close eye on Matt for his response.
