"Are you making me choose?" he asked under his breath, almost on the brink of laughing. "Right now?"
"I am giving you another choice."

"You are not just anyone."
"Exactly!" Tiger hissed through his clenched teeth. "I am your brother, your family. How can you make me choose between my sister and a potential lover?"
