He was as respectful of her as anyone before Darrow had ever been, except
perhaps Gray and Michael (in his own way). Carla had been a friend, yeah,
but she'd always been concerned and maybe offended about what Nikita didn't

whether Nikita was hiding something. And of course, she always was.
She felt like Cole knew she was hiding, but only wanted to know what he
could. He never pushed. Ever. Even now, he was giving her a way to avoid
it. She'd known what she was saying when she said it, and he still let her
avoid it if she wanted to.
She didn't. Well, she did, but she didn't.
"God, if only," she replied with a dark chuckle. "I'd take a million
customers who were convinced they'd ordered their burger without cheese
when they actually asked for extra cheese today."
