The man's face froze like a statue made of ice, as if he'd just been hit with a blast of cold air.

The officer caught his reaction. "Why the big reaction? Do you know her?"

"I won't meet her," the man replied, his voice firm and unwavering.

The officer looked disappointed. "Really? You don't want to see her?"

The man lapsed into an odd silence.
