It is either very good or very bad that Cooper was expecting a reaction like that.
Either way, he has his answer ready. "No," Cooper says. "Not at all. And I don't think it's cruel, either. Simply... convenient." Beat. "Moiraine, we've gone this long without talking about any kind of non-platonic feeling between us, and we both seem to have strong feelings about your ex-husband. That you said something only this morning..." Cooper's shaking his head a little. "The timing is... strange. And I don't think it's cruel. If that's why you said something... I'm fine with that. I just want to know."
It hasn't escaped Cooper that Moiraine hasn't denied it.
