Nina was taken aback. How could he say such a thing? Her emotions flared up. "Nash, what do you mean?"

"Be good," Nash said softly, with a hint of indulgence, as he stroked her hair. "You haven't eaten yet, are you hungry? I've asked the helpers to prepare your favorite meal. Go downstairs and eat."
