it's not an argument if you don't get the point
"John is all we never dared to be," Deanna points out, returning her knife to its sheath. "And more than what we can-"
"I just want Mary safe," Samuel interrupts harshly, shifting his rifle.
"I do too," Deanna bursts out. Samuel moves to answer, but she presses on, "And I want both of you safe, but you're still here, dragged into this life. I didn't even give you the chance to walk away."
"It's exactly why I couldn't," Samuel replies, confused. He can't understand. He wants to ask her, We both want the same thing. Why are we still arguing?
