Faye pulled down her hand, playing with it in his palm: "You agree to my request, and I'll help you solve anything."
"What? Solve..." Tessa was momentarily stunned, her eyes suddenly filled with a gleam of delight.
Wait, solve what?
She hadn't told him anything, so how would he know something needed solving, or how to solve it?
This was her cousin's matter, he couldn't possibly be involved, especially since she had promised her cousin she wouldn't mention it to Faye. Besides, if there was a solution, why worry about not being able to resolve it?
She couldn't admit it, playing innocent was definitely the right move.
As she thought this, she nodded, silently commending herself for her clever wit.
