Bathos. 106. I'm taking time off until he's back on his feet. He won't be alone, but... if he wants to leave, I won't stop him either.
[There's a pause, a sigh] I'm not going to pretend I'd ever win a father of the year award. I'm honest enough to admit that, but I've also never given up on something that meant even a fraction of what Poe means to me. Yes, I may be late to the party, but I'm not going to give up on him. [Silence comes for a long moment]
And we're clear. I'm hoping it doesn't come to that. Feel free to kick my ass if it does, though. I'll deserve it.
