'Words like a sliver of glass working their way to the heart'
"No, I... I'm not even in drag."
Real dignity-saving answer, GK. He should have used his father's line. His mother'd had so little to tell him about Jack Holdaway, so she'd told him everything. Right down to the "How very perceptive" crack when she found out about his boyfriend. Of course, that kind of sarcasm wouldn't have hurt Joey the way it hurt Mom. Mom had cared; Joey couldn't.
But Joey at least seemed sorry about it. GK wondered, sometimes, if his father had regretted hurting Rose Walker, or only regretted getting caught. Probably the latter. Prissy, smooth-talking coward. Good riddance.
