"Of course I didn't get caught," he said, as though it hadn't been possible — as though Cash hadn't had to pull him into a private room at Black's last year and say be careful, as though he hadn't admitted it all to Tycho before he'd known that Tycho shared his persuasions, as though he hadn't ended up wearing the wrong pair of pants home one day or been in foul moods for a week at a time because of something Macnair had written (or failed to write). As though he had not, right now, tonight, been caught.
Set by Lady!
