She's trying not to shake too much, but he hasn't recoiled, and while she doesn't really think that will happen-- it's still something she's afraid of, that this will be too much.
"I didn't want to do it, anyway. I made a huge mess and refused and everyone was so upset. But I didn't want to give up everything I loved about being a mortal: school, my friends, Harvey, my name and freedom. So I ran away that night, and it didn't do me any good. The Thirteen rose up and they were angry, and they were going to kill everyone in town. Then Ms. Wardwell was there with the Book, and she said it was the only way I'd have enough power to stop it."
The words come easier and easier.
"And I cut my hand, and then I felt his hand on my hand, and I wrote my name in my own blood in the Book."
