Let me ask you something. Why don’t people trust their instincts? They sense something is wrong, someone is walking too close behind them. You knew something was wrong. but you came back into the house. Did I force you? Did I drag you in? No. All I had to do was offer you a drink. It’s hard to believe that fear of offending is stronger than the fear of pain. But you know what? It is. And they always come willingly. And then they sit there and know it’s all over, just like you do. But somehow they still think they have a chance. Maybe if I say the right thing, maybe if I’m polite, if I cry, if I beg. And when I see the hope draining from their faces like it is from yours right now I can feel myself getting hard.
