Suletta has rejected the idea before Miorine can finish her plea ; rejected long before then , for as oblivious as she may be sometimes , she knows that look by now .

' I am ? Is ... is this how you've been feeling the whole time , Miss Miorine ... ? '

Suletta presses her fingertips together , digits rising and falling before a sense of peace settles in . Comfort .
