    Summary

    “Is it so hard to believe I do it because I'm fond of you?"

    "And is that what you are, Master Barak, fond of me?" Shardlake sprung the question like a trap, like he would do in court.

    A dull red flush spread over Barak's face and he lowered his eyes, Shardlake could see in his working jaw and the turn of his mouth that he had not meant to say it. If this had been a witness he would know he had finally hit the weak point. Barak's pride would never admit to being the one greater in affection.
    ”After a fashion,” he said sullenly and looked away.
