I was watching them all afternoon at the party, and I'm positive Ellie wasn't employing her...talents on him. Except in the most obvious and superficial sense, I mean, and he's more than capable of fending off that kind of advances. I've seen him do it many times. With her, even."
He set the tray in front of her and seated himself in the opposite chair. "Only that time he didn't. And I don't understand why. My first thought was that it must be the park playing its games again, but that doesn't make sense either. It seems to be just the two of them, and it's gone on for well over twenty-four hours now." He shook his head. "I'm almost ready to give it up as no harm done and not my business anyway, but I don't know..." He trailed off, unwilling to finish the thought in front of her. Crowley's emotional armor was well-nigh impenetrable, and he very rarely set it aside. But when he did, it left him very, very vulnerable.
