Half my age gets a pair of arched eyebrows: when, exactly, has that ever stopped anyone? She's not as obscenely beautiful as her fiancé, but she's cute enough. He wouldn't be the first, or the last.

"It was a possibility. But. There are others. So. Why? You don't know me."

She's still tense, with an edge of fight-or-flight. But her eyes are sharp and her voice is at least even. Curious.

She's asking.

Whatever else is going on in her head (and it's a lot, rational and not), and even if this all winds up awful, at least later, she can tell herself that she kept her voice even.

(Not that 'bored' is a bad reason, although she doesn't say that. Doesn't want to lead or offer something if it's all a play for....something else.)
