"She hasn't told me anything." Billie hadn't said anything, and Shura hadn't pried. She wasn't blind, however, and there was a familiarity in the way they acted around each other that made it easy enough to guess that they knew each other before. But Shura's starting to understand why the mention of Daud's name might have pissed her off. He's certainly getting on Shura's nerves with that neutral expression of his.
