"Nothing?"

"Yes, nothing."

"You can tell me, zaad."

"And why does it even matter to you what's going on in my head?" Her eyes snapped up at him. "Why do you even care?!"

He turned her face towards him. "Tell me clearly, Sheharzaad."

"Why? Do you care about me? Why should I? When all you care about is yourself?" Without realizing it, the volume of her voice had increased.

"Shhh," he placed the knuckle of his forefinger on her lips, making her lips part slightly. "Do you want the whole building to listen to this?"

Again, she clenched her jaw and folded her arms across her chest.

"Is that what's going on in your head?"

"No," she answered sharply.
