He leaves and I sit down at the table. Something isn’t adding up. Leo seems paranoid about my fictitious reporter. And his behavior yesterday when I first confronted him had been over the top. He’d looked as if he’d been about to pass out. But his reason for not telling me—that he wanted this house because it provided him with security—doesn’t stand up.
His panicked reaction wasn't about the house or Nina. It was literally about the past he was hiding from Alice.
