Bushara snickered softly at the comment. "Do you believe I am threatening you?" she asked allowing the idea to linger a bit. She wasn't threatening him of course.

"I like to leave my options open," she told him in reply to his assumption, "Though I do love everyone that I am involved with." She then considered his question, "You believe that I am teasing you? I thought I was simply getting to know the handsome playwright."
