[She says it sharply, like a dare some kid at a party expects you to chicken out on. If her eyes weren't locked on his face, trying desperately to read his expression, she'd be impressed with his power. Maybe she will be later. Right now, she just wants him to admit it.
He's not touching her, so maybe that's why she gets that sudden rush of courage. Maybe it is sympathy, the fact that she actually gets it. Maybe it's just that she saw so much of him in that dream that she knows he didn't want to share, and it only feels fair to do the same.
Hey, it worked with Jason. Not in the same way, not the way she wants it to work with Ian, but it's a start. Still, she has to dig her nails into her palms, to keep herself from trembling from apprehension or pain.]
The reason I was sitting there, waiting for my dad, is because he never fucking showed up. But every birthday of his until I started high school, I'd park myself on that stupid couch and tell myself I was just there in case. That I didn't care if he showed or not.
