Dear Friends,

Would you please confirm me on the bold part?

In another minute this would become a quarrel. He was serious. She’d better make him furious, thus silent, so she could think about it.
“Where’d you get that appalling tie?” she said.
Now.
She was almost in love with him. No, that’s impossible, she thought: either you are or you aren’t. Love’s the only thing in this world that is unequivocal.

1. She was making him more angry, then she was silent, in this way she could think about his proposal.
2. Now. (use for pausing when you are thinking)

Thank You
