Vanessa just keeps staring at me and parts her lips to speak, but it seems she can't find her words.

"There was a moment where I thought she was going to attack me with an object or whatever because she lowered her hand and in the pocket of her coat, but she chose not to do so.

"Is it true?" she asks.
