“Well, it’s not like it’d be that much of a trouble…” Zachary felt a little guilty. “But still, thank you.”

 

“Not at all. This is just a matter of my own principles. It has nothing to do with you.” Nancy smiled. “Besides, you’ve never mentioned it to me. I just didn’t want to be entangled with it.”

“I see,” he replied.
