"I know, and I also know just how much you don't like it." He turned his head, and kissed Cass' hand. "It's absurd that you have to hide your mother, because of stupid prejudices. I'm sorry."
Percy turned to stare at Cass. "I know what you meant, Cass, but you will be a good father. You're a good friend, and lover, loyal beyond words, and I can't imagine you doing any less for your son. He will some a hard time at the beginning, but in the end, this will probably be best. He'll be in a house where he'll be cared for and protected... and wanted. We'll take care of your son, Cass, okay?"
