"You're not listening," I sigh. "It's not about the sex, or about the dog head -- even though I am upset about them. It's about my mind, about who I am. If that can be taken away from me, then what's left?"
"You say I care for Karen," I continue, "and I do, but even that is not safe. All it takes is one spell, hell -- a drink of water can do it, for the love to be erased, or even turned into hate, and I cannot risk it. And come to think of it, how do I even know that it is real? Maybe I don't even know her and all this -- the memories, the emotions -- were planted in my head by a magic user. Could have been you, for all I know."
"I don't know what's real anymore," I let myself slump, "If my feelings for Karen are real, then I can't jeopardize them; and if they are not, well, I'd rather not find out."
I start walking toward the spot that we arrived at. "I guess what I'm saying is that I'm bailing out, or chickening out it that's how you want to call it. So let's get out of here and call this thing off."
