I was working on something else and had an idea for this bit of Avon/Cally dialogue.
"Avon."
"Cally."
"Why?"
"Why not?"
"I mean why now?"
"Can you think of a better time?"
"You're avoiding my question."
"Does it matter?"
"I would like to know."
(pause)
"Avon? You have a disconcerting habit of staring at people."
"Does it bother you?"
"It bothers some people."
"But not you?"
"I know why you're doing it."
"Now that is disconcerting."
"You still haven't answered my question. Don't you want to tell me?"
"I could never say it."
"Not all sentiment leads to weakness, Avon. Sometimes it is a strength."
"That is your sentiment speaking."
"It doesn't make it any less true."
"Perhaps not."
"Does this mean that you're going to tell me?"
"I would rather show you."
No more words.
