The sheriff smiles then, a real one, and sort of laughs. I suppose that'll have to do for now. A truce then? Regardless of our backgrounds, we'll both be in a stronger situation here with the other's support than if we're working at cross purposes.
I incline my head. "I will agree to a truce for the sole purpose of the welfare of our mutual charge."
A truce does not mean an alliance. Though it may lead to one. As anything that happens in this town may affect Fiona's welfare. And neither of us will let her come to harm.
Just at that moment the curtain in front of the kitchen opens and I hear Miss Wanda clear her throat.
