Still I thought it needed a little guidance to show the emotion behind what they were saying, so, after writing it five times, I ended up with this:<br /><br />"You want me to quit?" he burst out. "Okay, you've got it. I'm through!"<br />"Oh, sure."<br />"I mean it," he snapped.<br />"Fine!" she threw at him<br />"Right!" he shot back.<br />"Y-you're serious?"<br />"Damn right!"Toni V.S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08052890346125029399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19076326.post-54651170965037581642012-06-01T11:01:39.513-05:002012-06-01T11:01:39.513-05:00Isn't it the truth, Cordelia?
