“Oh.”
“I’ve actually been wondering if…if maybe you can control it some.”
“Control it?”
“You know…if you want to.”
His expression alerted me immediately that I had said the wrong thing.
“Why wouldn’t I want to all the time? That doesn’t even make sense, Marty.”
“I know. I didn’t say it right. I’m…sorry.”
