"I'm sure it was," I said, forcing a smile. "I was busy getting some data together," I said, hoping to sound nonchalant, even though I didn't feel that way about what she was saying or what I was half-heartedly explaining to her. I didn't really want to go into detail about what was happening in Europe right now because I wanted to talk to the committee about it first. It didn't matter. Heather didn't ask.
