Cass chuckled. 'It was a sight worth seeing,' he said amused, before nodding at her next comment. It was an easy way to make Pansy like you after all. When she went on though, he shook his head.
'Pansy was the first one to know about the two of us,' he said with a warm smile. 'Hell she knew I was thinking about a relationship before I was sure it was something I wanted,' he added with a laugh.
'She won't be fond of me lying to her all these years,' he then said more calmly. 'I'll have to make sure she understands why I did.' But then she knew how things worked, she had to understand.
'Thanks for the offer,' he said honestly, watching her get up. 'And thanks for the job, it makes...' he gestured towards the draft of his resignation. 'that, a lot easier.' Not easy - but easier. It would never be an easy sacrifice, even if the reward was worth it.
