Barry Eisler Quote
We were quiet for a few moments. Then she said, You were right. I wouldn’t have reacted so sharply if what you were saying were untrue. These are things I’ve been thinking about a lot, and I haven’t been as honest with myself as you just were. She reached out and took my hand. She squeezed it hard. Thank you. I felt an odd confluence of emotions: satisfaction that my manipulation was working; sympathy because of what she was struggling with; self-reproach for taking advantage of her naiveté. And beneath it all, I was still attracted to her. I was uncomfortably aware of the touch of her hand.
