"No!" Isaac snapped, voice cracking with a sudden, fierce heat that made Arabella flinch. He shook his head so hard the lantern light picked out the angles of his jaw. "I would never betray you. For Morpheus? Never. I— I would sooner tear out my own tongue than become one of his eyes for him! I could never, milady I haven't been with you for long but-"
Arabella's eyes narrowed, "No, Isaac— that's not what I meant. What I'm saying is this: if you were placed beside me on purpose, it isn't for no reason. What I suspect is he had chosen someone who he knew distrust him the most but if all of a sudden you began to trust me, I wouldn't have a choice but to also begin putting my whole trust on Morpheus. So perhaps someone other than eyes had been placed to eye on us."
