Ernest looked at him across the sitting room—at the fire and the November evening and the man on the sofa who had said, without hesitation or qualification, that the direction was certain and the promise was larger.

I am not talking about a commitment to this group or even to the institute. I am talking about a commitment to be present, open, and truthful with yourself.

"Out," I ordered, not wanting the silly excuse as to why he brought my coffee a minute late. I finished everything in one huge gulp despite its steaming hotness. I'd surely answer Ax's question 'cause I wasn't a coward. "I don't do commitments or marriages or love or anything close to those three." I said, firm in my statement.
