Toughness

Adam and Tron talked for a while longer, with Riska occasionally joining their conversation. After all, they too, went through problems and found ways to solve them. 

However, the most important thing was Adam's decision. He had to choose one of the two options offered by Tron, it seemed he had already made a choice long ago.

"Well, I think that's enough. Honestly, we've already discussed more than we needed to." Tron said quietly, casting a glance at the door as if telling Adam that it was time for him to leave. 

"Sure... But, before I do, I want to ask you something. Did you act tough during the biggest problem between you and Riska?" Adam narrowed his eyes intently, staring at Tron.

Tron answered immediately, in a calm voice:

"Absolutely."

Adam glanced at Riska, who was slightly embarrassed, she remembered that period in their relationship, and from her look, it was clear that it was something special and most importantly - effective.
