"Ah. Well. That sounds about right, doesn't it?" Yeah, he didn't like Bill much from the sounds of it but he did like Barty. He missed him a lot. And he was a brave sort, the way he was - it was hard not to admire him. "He said he'd rather have the love he has now than the love he'd get from our God. Says it's not very loving and a bit one-sided and all."

He frowned and looked at his shoes. That was easier. He had nice shoes, he cleaned them every day. "I used to think he was a bad person. Then I fell in love." And yeah, that changed a lot for him. "Now I don't think -- I mean, I understand it. I want ... I want to see you more. Be with you more. And one day, we will have that but-- but is it worth it? To burn all bridges like that and walk away?"
