\u201cAre you sure?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat do you mean, am I sure? Are you kidding me? We\u2019ve been talking about this for weeks! Why are you askin\u2019 me now if I\u2019m sure?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause this is the last chance that you have to back out and I wanted to be sure that you are sure.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cLook it\u2019s not making me angry, but why do you assume that I\u2019m going to back out of things? I mean if it\u2019s just that you want to make sure that I\u2019m happy then that\u2019s fine, but it feels like you are assuming that I will let you down.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cLook, let\u2019s not get into that now, okay? I wasn\u2019t trying to suggest that you are going to back out, really. I just wanted you to feel like it was okay, I mean it\u2019s a big deal.\u201d<\/p>\n

Howard picked up the knife, never once moving his gaze away from Petra, but somehow managing to draw it across his palm and spill a small pool of blood on the mirror. He wiped the blade clean and placed the knife back on the table, hilt to Petra.<\/p>\n
\u201cOk then, your turn.\u201d<\/p>\n
