Fear

I am in the kitchen preparing breakfast. Henry and Alice sit chatting in the living room.

Alice: Are you afraid of snakes?

Henry: No way.

Alice: Are you afraid of monsters?

Henry: Nope.

Alice: Are you afraid of spiders?

Henry: Ha! No. I'm not afraid of anything.

Alice: Yes, you are. You're afraid of the dark.

Long pause.

Henry: Okay. There is that.
