“Thank you for coming with me. I honestly thought you'd say no, considering...“
"Considering?"
"I don't know. I don't see very much of you recently. No, don't say you're busy. "

If someone had put a gun to her head and asked her what she had done yesterday, or what's she'd had for breakfast today, she wouldn't have, her life at stake or not, been able to say what she'd had or done.

He always did.
“You are getting better at understanding the rules of the game, though. “
