Here, Gabriel did something subtle. His feet, visible under the table, pointed toward the door. Ventral denial. His torso was facing her, but his feet were escaping. The oldest part of his brain was already running.

Mara leaned forward. "Gabriel, I don't need a confession. Your body already gave you away. The neck touching, the hand hiding, the feet pointing to the exit. You're not a liar because you're bad at words. You're a liar because you forgot your body speaks every language except the one that lies."
