“I know it’s not the same. But you’re not acting the same as he did, and so you get a different response.” That catches his attention. He circles around me as I get to my feet, and his gaze is intense as he watches me, so intense it feels like it’s burning a hole into my clothing. “Yes. That’s what I’m trying to say. Why is it that you are different with him than with me? Explain this to me so I might understand it.”
