Easy enough. I was thinking in the neighborhood of five million. She swallowed-hard-the spaghetti she'd wound around her fork. I don't have that big a bucket, or spend much time in that neighborhood. You make it. Done. He
In the passage, a character expresses a nonchalant attitude towards a substantial sum of five million, suggesting it is a manageable goal. The moment is tense as another character struggles to digest the gravity of the request, symbolized by her difficulty in swallowing the spaghetti she is eating. This illustrates the stark contrast between their perspectives on wealth and the implications of achieving such a goal.
The dialogue indicates a transactional arrangement, with one character confidently asserting that the other must make the money happen. The casualness with which the first character speaks about the large amount contrasts with the second character's hesitation, highlighting themes of ambition, pressure, and the burden of expectations within the narrative of "Obsession in Death" by J.D. Robb.
