That smile fell right off of Donovan's face like a stone dropped in water. Good, Riley thought a little too savagely -- but he was no monster. In two seconds he was wondering if he had the right to call him that.

Donovan inched closer, earning the full bite of Riley's anzac glare. He wasn't so stupid to stare directly at Donovan's eyes, so instead he settled for burning holes somewhere along Donovan's cheek. None of what Donovan said balmed Riley's anger -- if anything, it was the hot poker that stirred the fire.

However, Riley didn't immediately respond. He was still processing which reply was adequate when a new idea came to him. This thought overcame him, and he spoke in a level voice dry with suspicion. "Why lie? When someone shows you who they are, believe them."
