"Now, now, Bella," Gary's voice stayed low, laced with the mockery of comforting patience. "Don't take back what you just said to me a few minutes ago." She was quivering. She couldn't look at him for more than a few seconds. "Unless, of course, you were lying to me?"

He stepped in closer again, crossing his arms over his chest as his eyes drifted to her hand on the door. His smile turned into a smirk. He was only certain that she wouldn't run because she was too scared to run, to unsure of what would happen to her if she tried anything. Which was good. It was how she should feel. It was more appropriate than her attempts at defiance, at her frustrating little slivers of courage.

Bella only had those when there was some distance between them, though. And the cell was far too small for any of that.

Gary moved back to the bed, sitting on the corner of it. He leaned back, his back against the wall, and crossed his legs. He recrossed his arms over his chest and glanced at her. "I hope you didn't lie to me over the intercom. I must have told you at some point-- while we talked-- that the one thing I really appreciate in a friend is honesty, right? At some point?"

Finally, he let his eyes move from her hand on the door. They landed on her torso, her stomach, the place were she kept insisting a baby was. He didn't even make the effort to lift his eyes to look at her face.

"It's your mouth, Bella, I'm not making it do anything. And, I will point out, we did talk. We talked a lot." His head tilted again. "About a lot of things. Everything that you could possibly think of. You were so honest with me then. Don't mess that up now."
