"I have to be honest with you"

A note from June 7, 2015:

“So, you want to go out with me, right?”

“I have to be honest with you,” she said, suddenly looking serious.

“Uh-oh. I’ve heard that before.”

“No, not that,” she said, with a little smile.

“Okay ...”

“I have MS.” Long pause. “Do you know what that means?”

“Yes, yes I do.”
