"About your question earlier on, why did you ask that? Is it because you really like me and want me beside you? Or is it just because you're scared of facing what everyone would say after I leave? Or maybe because you feel you might need me around to defend you some more?" Eric asked carefully, turning to look at Kimberly who was looking out the window of the car now.
"You didn't answer my question, why should I answer yours?" Kimberly asked without turning to look at him.
"You asked me not to answer when you said, 'nevermind' or didn't you?" Eric reminded her.
"You were going to say no."
"You don't know that for a fact, do you?" Eric asked.
"Were you going to say yes?" Kimberly asked, turning to look at him now, "Don't lie to me."
