"Not crappy enough. I actually believed it." Percy sighed. Thinking back, maybe he should have tried to talk to Cass instead of breaking things off so completely, but it was Cass and Percy had been waiting for something like that to happen. "I gave up too easily. I should have-" he sighed again. "I don't know what should have happened, and I don't care any more as long as it doesn't happen again."
Percy toed off his shoes, letting them drop to the floor before relaxing against the pillows. "This still sounds so strange. In a few days, everyone will know . I spent so long not even looking at blokes, and now- I should be more upset, but I'm not. You're alive and that's what counts."
