Marianna said jokingly, as she got into the car. He smiled at her, raising a dark brow. “Truly? Did you think I would be that disrespectful?” “No, never. I don’t think that you are ever disrespectful unless you truly mean to be. However, I do think you might be a little careless.” Nikolos winced, a slight smile on his face. “It is certainly the providence of younger sons to be so,” he said. “I’ve been told that I live up to it quite well.” Despite his light words, she wondered if there was some kind of old hurt there. She was an only child, and as a late-in-life surprise baby, she had always been a little more grown-up than her peers, a little aloof and independent. Nikolos, always the younger brother, likely had a very different experience growing up. “What do you try to live up to?” she asked as they drove. “Have you always felt that expectations weighed you down?” Nikolos shot her a knowing smile before turning his eyes back to the road. “I see that you are starting your interviews early, Marianna.”
