<div style="text-align: justify;">Emily smiled when Dean clasped her hand that way. He seemed to believe that she was just a girl, in need of someone to help her, maybe to take care of her. "I can say the same, Mr. Fuller. Do not be offended, but I wish I did not need your services".<br/><br/>After this somewhat grim introduction, Emily paid closer attention to Dean. He seemed to be well disposed towards her. That was a good thing. The more the detective liked her, the more likable she made herself, the better chances she had. If he was thoroughly convinced of her innocence, that would work out just fine. The only thing she had to do was play her cards right and make sure he kept on buying her story.<br/><br/>Nodding, Emily sat down, smiling gratefully to Dean. "I... maybe I should have something calming, not stimulating. A cup of tea would do wonders for me", she murmured softly. After these words, Emily allowed him to wave the waiter over, and let him order, as though placing her confidence in him even for the small things.<br/><br/>After the waiter left, Emily took a look around. "Are you sure... it's safe... to talk about our matters here?". She took another deep breath, genuinely nervous. "I fear that we might be overheard and this may cause me trouble..." Leaning over, Emily looked for the detective's eyes, those large blue ones seemingly worried.<br/><br/>"I didn't do anything wrong, I promise you, Mr. Fuller. I am not a violent person, by any chance. Do I strike you as the kind of person who would harm another human being?"</div>
