Nothing recent but the conversation between Anita & Edward in “The Killing Dance” still sticks with me. 😈
“I was just offered a contract on your life, for enough money to make it worth my while." It was my turn to be quiet.
"Did you take it?"
"Would I be calling you if I had?"
"Maybe," I said. He laughed.
"True, but I'm not going to take it."
"Why not?"
"Friendship."
"Try again," I said.
"I figure I'll get to kill more people guarding you. If I take the contract, I only get to kill you."
"Comforting..." - Edward, Anita #readingcommunity
