[ it doesn't take very much for him to snap to anger. ]
It would be one thing entirely if you were telling the truth, Erik! [ he breathes out, knowing he's yelled, knowing that Shaw would probably be off watching them as if it was another episode of his daytime soap opera. ] You're lying to me, straight to my face! I gave you a chance to tell me, and you are lying to me!
[ his face goes stony, eyes boring into Erik's face, trying to get him to face him, truthfully, to actually face him. ] How do I trust you when you're lying to my face, Erik? I love you. [ it hurts to say and he nearly clenches, recoils back from the words. ] I do want you to be honest with me. What I don't want is for you to just continue to be his lapdog. You're better than that and you know it, Erik. You don't have to be his weapon. You can refuse.
