The wine arrived at the table. “Are you threatening me?” he asked, pursing his lips.

Josie didn’t know how to reply. She was struggling to understand his behavior. At times, he was easygoing. But other times, he was cold and distant. She took a deep breath and said, “It doesn’t matter if you don’t feel like telling me. Who knows? I might not even be interested to know anymore by the time you feel like telling me, Mr. Carter.”
