"Do you not mind that she wants to read those kinds of books?" Giselle asked, finding it hard to get used to how calm Rafael was for this. He almost seemed interested in Annalise finding the books. Anyone else she knew would have overreacted which was why she read them in secret.

"No," Rafael replied. He would only care about who Annalise was reading the books with and if her plans for why she was reading the books didn't involve him. He welcomed Annalise's curiosity. Wanting to try new things.

They were only books. What he needed to be concerned about when it came to Annalise was her having a sword in her hands. He preferred naughty books since they could only hurt anyone else if Annalise were to throw one.
