Feeling pressured, Olivia looked away, not wanting to meet his gaze.

Tyler understood her reaction and gently touched her neck. "Let's talk slowly, okay?" He encouraged her with his eyes, "Try to say something." Olivia felt his touch and wanted to speak, but instead, she shook her head again and nestled closer to him. She remained silent.

Around eleven, Alisa reentered the room. "Sir, are you..."

Olivia had trouble sleeping before this, so Alisa tried to make her go to sleep early. Now it was eleven, she wasn't sure what Tyler was thinking. Tyler kept his eyes on the book. "You can leave us."
