It took all her self-control not to be goaded by that grin. She had hoped to wipe it off him with this and yet- (And yet he dared to act as if she couldn't do anything to him. Maybe he was right.)

"Before you are released," she shouldn't ask this, it shouldn't matter, it can change nothing and in a matter of minutes he will be riding either to betray her again or to clear himself but it can't be like before, "I want to know: Why did you betray us?"

She says 'us' when she really means 'me', but the cover is good enough to get her answer without complete exposing herself, she thinks.
