It was not what Gideon had intended for him to interpret, but Chilton naturally flung himself into that unspoken territory. Perhaps it was because he had seen Danger's fury, perhaps because he knew Danger would never ally (or even alloy) herself with Hannibal Lecter now that she was aware. Perhaps it was because Chilton was not poisoned with a psychological bout of encroaching paranoia.
"Because, if anything, she is fundamentally rejecting the prior authority that I've had over her."
It was confessional; Chilton had allowed Danger to dominate him, he had buckled under his own growing attraction to her steely persona, and the consequence reverberated. She had installed cameras, security equipment, surveillance into his bedroom, his house. She extended her dominance beyond the agreed realms, as Chilton considered it.
He pulled on the ship's wheel, taking an arcing left out to sea.
