Ultimately, perhaps Vitali was trying to shove the evidence that something had changed out of his mind. He didn't want to believe any of the things that he was starting to think might have been true. Irrespective of this fact, though, was the fact that he had done nothing to actually suggest to her that he had actually suspected that something had been up.<br/><br/>"Well, if it's all the same, then I think that it might be best to leave now."<br/><br/>Looking over at her wristwatch, Vitali tilted his head. "Did you get that back in the United Kingdom?" He had assumed so, because it had looked far more decadent than the state-made watches that were issued perhaps more than sold in the USSR.<br/><br/>He was actually surprised that they had let her carry it around since they usually levied stiff fines and taxes on any foreign-made products.<br/><br/>Nevertheless, he would have been more concerned with everything that they had to do that day. He would have been thinking all about where it was that she was going to live and such.<br/><br/>Some of this heavy thinking was being done in order to shove more negative and suspicious thoughts straight out of his head. He hadn't wanted to think about them at all. It wasn't something that brought him comfort.<br/><br/>Perhaps, though, the comments about the watch and the way that she had responded to it would have either confirmed or denied how she was behaving. It would have illustrated quickly if he should have been suspicious or not.<br/><br/>That being said, the whole issue was sitting like some sort of a devil on his shoulder, and he was debating with the angel that seemed to be sitting on the other side over what he was supposed to do in this case; should he have gotten rid of her or not?<br/><br/>It was a difficult question for him to handle. He had, of course, been waiting for her return for some time now.
