"Leave what at that?" Renee glanced at Eliza, noticing the series of red marks on her neck and arms, her eyes narrowing with concern. "Is he abusing you? Did he hit you?" "No." Eliza lowered her gaze, trying to hide the emotions welling up inside.

Renee got it immediately. As a woman, how could she not understand?
