"If I were your counsellor, the first thing I'd do is figure out how to kill you when you least expect it."
Adrian raised an eyebrow. "A good idea, but you wouldn't succeed."
He paused briefly before speaking again. "Are you still angry about what happened before?"
The moment Adrian brought it up, Eli felt his anger flare so violently that he almost couldn't breathe. His hand tightened around Adrian's neck until his fingers began to go numb. Of all the things Adrian could have said, he had somehow managed to choose the one most likely to push Eli over the edge.
"Are you deliberately trying to anger me to death?" Eli demanded.
"I can apologize."
