"No, I can't - I can't do what he can do, no. There's...a lot people don't know about us. About before here," she began, already dreading the conversation. She had already gone through it with Sybil, but she didn't think it'd ever get easier. "And I know it's a lot to ask, but I need you to keep quiet about what you saw. For both my safety and Booker's. I'll tell you more, but only if you promise me."
He seemed genuinely curious, which made her hope that that curiosity would translate into him being willing to go along with those terms. She had always felt like he was a good person, so she hoped maybe with the incentive plus hearing her story, their secret would remain safe.
