5 minutes is a long time to see something like that close up and not mean something other than the mind playing tricks. I think that if it was real and she thought of him as 'devillish' rather than just having 'devillish' looks there shouldn't be so much uncertainity about whether to trust him or not or stay. I also think that just because a person with a lot of or significant vices has virtues as well doesn't mean they can't do a lot of damage before any 'virtue' kicks in, if at all and will it be too little too late. Also, just because someone is nice to 'you' (generic use, not personal) doesn't mean they are a nice person and their vices should be overlooked. It depends on what those vices are and how strong they are. A person can be pretty what is socially accepted as 'decent' (which is pretty crappy in my opinion) for the longest time and then do something unforgiveable, a vice can undo a virtue imo and it doesn't work the other way round e.g. doing a nice/good thing doesn't make up for the bad.

I don't know why the money was mentioned, twice and at the opening and ending of the statement - that makes it seem highlighted. Is that a reason that make her doubt what she saw more or is a reason that perhaps you think she should wait abit?

Personally, I would just tell him what I saw and see his reaction - but of course that's not in every situation - perhaps ask her to think about their relationship and see if there's anything she ever noticed that seemed 'out of place' or substantiated a kind of worry/fear about him and if there isn't, perhaps it was just a mirage.

There could be lots of reasons why she wasn't surprised - but was she suprised afterwards?
