"I will." Touched, I smiled to quell the trembling of my lip. On no account would I break down and cry. It would only fuel my best friend's worry. ''More than your best friend. The older sister you never had''. "I'll be all right. I promise, [[Food for Thought#HOW TO SPEAK CHINESE|''Jei jei'']]."<br><br>

How like her. From the first day we met, she always looked out for me. ''Can't she see I need to strike out on my own?'' I would never say it to her face, but many were the occasions I thought it. Not for the first time I wondered if she would miss having me to look after … and if I would miss her looking after me. We would both find out, starting tomorrow.<br><br>

"Sonia, I'll be fine," I said, meaning it. "I should go. It's late and I need to get back. I'll call you when I'm about to board, all right? That way you'll know I got on safe." It was a lame reassurance given her opinion of the ship in question, but I had to say something. Otherwise, she'd find a way to fill my silence with her fears.<br><br>

"[[Food for Thought#HOW TO SPEAK CHINESE|''Bùyào dānxīn'']]," I said. "I will. You, too. Love you." I waved my fingers at her image but Sonia had already turned away and the screen went dark in my hand. A shiver ran down my spine. It had nothing to do with the cold and the snow. ''If someone tries to kill you … you kill'em right back.'' The gun lay heavy in my pocket and heavier still on my conscience. Could I kill someone if I had to? Was I capable of pulling the trigger? What could possibly be dire enough to make me do such a horrible thing? There was no telling. I pushed off into the night and turned my steps for home … and tried not to dwell on the possibilities implied by that gun. <br><br>
