Bella : Is it true, Sergeant, you were sweet on Rose, but that she let you down?
[Drake is silent]
Bella : That makes her a fool, and more besides. There's not a girl here who doesn't think you are the finest of men.
[Drake stops undressing, and she reaches for his bracers]
Detective Sergeant Bennet Drake : Miss Bella?
Bella : Sergeant?
Detective Sergeant Bennet Drake : Would you keep a secret for me?
Bella : Til my death.
Detective Sergeant Bennet Drake : If we just... sat here for a while, in this chair, you and I, and perhaps I might sleep for a moment or so... if we did that, would you tell no one what had passed? I, uh... I do not ask you to lie, simply to say nothing if questioned.
[She puts a tender hand on his cheek, eases him into the chair, and curls into his shoulder]
