"You must feel very powerful right now."

"Of course I do. I'm in your presence. Your presence makes me feel powerful." I roll my eyes so hard, they nearly get stuck at the back of my head.

"Did you wait here the whole time?" My expression has turned granite as I ask him that question.

"Me?" He points to himself and huffs. "Wait here the whole time?" His gaze drops to the floor as he shakes his head and scoffs in derision. When he looks back at me, he has a very serious expression as he says. "Yes."
