Len kept his face carefully blank. He was going to try to give Cisco every opportunity to help him without threatening him. “Lisa can’t see you,” Len said harshly. “So your guilty conscience won’t actually have to face her. I just…if you could do your thing, maybe you could see a better way to treat her, so she can wake up.”
When had his voice gone from threatening to pleading? “Please, Cisco. If you ever cared about her, now is the time to show it.”
“Len, I’m sorry. I can’t. Whether she can see me or not, I can’t face her right now.” Cisco said, his gaze dropping and moving to stare at his hands. “Whether or not I visit her now does not measure how much I care for her.” He snapped, taking his book and shoving it in his bag. “I’ll visit her in a few days once I’ve had time to take everything in. To figure out what I’m going to do, what I’m going to say. Let me sleep on it.” Cisco got up from his seat and started walking the other way, ready to get back home.
