"Debbie...if you know why I'm like this, why won't you tell me? I don't want to be stuck like this forever," Nathan said, resting in the center of Debbie's palm now that she had peeled him off from his sticky spot on her finger. He was still very confused as to the reason for Debbie's silence. From the pensive look on her face, he could tell that she was deep in thought. At least she no longer seemed flustered.
"And what does Steve have to do with all of this, how will he get into trouble," Nathan continued, catching Debbie's gaze as she perked up hearing Steve's name.
"Oh dear, I've already said too much," Debbie replied, as she leaned back against the headboard of the bed and took a deep breath, " Nathan really, I can't tell you any more, not till I know I can trust you."
"Trust me? Debbie, I'm barely half the size of a grape, what could I possibly do to you?" Nathan said in return, his voice raised in pitch as he asked the question.
"If I help you return to normal, Steve could lose his job if you tell anyone how it happened..." Debbie said, hesitating, before sighing visibly.
"...because Steve has been working on a top-secret project to develop a shrink-ray for the government, and he made us all swear never to tell anyone, but here you are."
"Debbie I swear, I would never tell anyone about Steve's shrink-ray, I swear!"
"Oh Nathan, I want to believe you but how am I supposed to know for sure?" Debbie said, her voice emotional.
"Nathan I promise, it's not that I'm trying to hurt you, I just don't know what to do...if something were to get out, I don't know what that would mean for Steve, for our family," she continued, her voice starting to crack.
Nathan could see the anguish in written on Debbie's face, her concern for her husband and family clearly affecting her.
"Debbie please, I know how much this disturbs you but you can't leave me like this..." Nathan started, "you have to return me to normal size!"
"And what does Steve have to do with all of this, how will he get into trouble," Nathan continued, catching Debbie's gaze as she perked up hearing Steve's name.
"Oh dear, I've already said too much," Debbie replied, as she leaned back against the headboard of the bed and took a deep breath, " Nathan really, I can't tell you any more, not till I know I can trust you."
