Hamison listened calmly to her explanation. He could tell she was being sincere, that she really wanted to avoid entanglement with Melvin

But isn’t that how feelings are? If you’re not together, there’s always a period of entanglement. Some people get bored of the chase, but others are like a stubborn adhesive, impossible to shake off.
