"I know: Only so much you can get the word out while keeping quiet about it. We'll have to fight."

This was a nice simple story, but it definitely has my interested peeked as I look for more context. I keep rereading this story, wishing for more from it and trying to anticipate what either happened before or after this scene! Overall, it's really well written!
