Do you remember all of your audiences?" Marco asks. "Not all of them, " Celia says. "But I remember the people who look at me the way you do."" What way might that be?"" As though they cannot decide if they are afraid of me or they want to kiss me."" I am not afraid of you, " Marco says. Erin Morgenstern
About This Quote

"What way might that be?" means "What are the distinguishing characteristics of the ones who are not afraid of you?"  For example, when Celia asks Marco "What way might that be?", it means that she is wondering what makes her different from other people. Maybe, unlike them, she is not afraid of her. However, when Marco says he doesn’t have any reason to be afraid of Celia , he is lying. He is lying because, in reality, he is very afraid of her. He will try to hide his true feelings by saying that he is not afraid when in fact he is very much afraid.
