"I asked you to be my partner! But you can't do that, can you? Because you don't trust anyone, and you sure as hell don't know how to stand up to him!"
"You want me to stand up to him?" Adrian took two blindingly fast steps forward, closing the distance between us until there wasn't an inch left to spare. "I put my entire future on the line the second I put your name next to mine on this submission!"
"Then you should have picked someone else!" I shouted, staring him down, my breath coming in short, ragged gasps.
"I couldn't!" he yelled back.
The studio dropped into absolute, deafening silence.
