"Adam? I sort of need to show you something. I'm sorry if I forgot about it" said Hardin as he braced himself and anticipated what the other's reaction will be.
"What is it?" calmly asked Adam without looking at Hardin, not noticing anything amiss.
"Promise me you won't get angry first!" timidly requested Hardin as he stopped in front of Adam and reached towards his pocket to get his cellphone.
"Fine. Come on, show it to me" replied Adam as he waited for Hardin to show him what he was saying.
