Re: Percy/Oliver
Percy took the phone and scrolled down, reading through the exchange. Then it was very clear he went back up to the top of the screen and went through it once more. He was nothing, if not thorough.
Finally, he handed the phone back, looking a bit thoughtful. Oliver's sense of denial in this case was both a bit endearing and frustrating. There was too much coincidence with everyone in town for this to be truly falsified crazy stuff. Even Percy could see that, as much as he didn't want to. And Percy was the first to admit that he often had a strong sense of denial about lots of things.
He wondered, exactly, what made it that Oliver didn't want to believe in it. Was it the fake pregnant wife? Sure, he'd said that he wasn't in any place to have a child, but did Oliver find the idea of having one (with the woman he was currently dating) so preposterous?
"Well," he said slowly, carefully, "she... was in my dreams. And you were as well."
