“I’ll think of something,” you say. “I’ll be there tonight.”
He must hear the determination in your voice because he smiles wide. “Of course you will. I know you won’t let me down.”
You snort, “classic Imre, you think everything has to do with you.”
“Does it not?” He asks cheekily and you laugh while shaking your head.
“I think it’s the other way around. I think everything you do has to do with me,” you reply and leave him before he can get another word out.

“You need to get away, tonight preferably,” Imre insists.
Your face is pinched as you look from him to the car, “I don’t think I can.”
“You can, you’re just afraid.” He takes a step closer and you feel yourself grow small. “You have to be there. You have to be there for me, or else things will get dire. I don’t want to hurt Sally and Sally might not want to hurt me. You should think about that. Unless you want to disappoint me because I was of the mind that you cared for me.”
“I DO!” You blurt out.
He smiles and reaches out a hand to thumb your cheek, “I need you to prove it.”
His words make your stomach flip with unpleasantness and something else more base and animalistic that makes your cheeks warm. You mumble a quick goodbye.
