That night, Cassius decided it was time to have a serious conversation with Amane. He knew this was the life he had chosen, but it wasn't the life he wanted for their children.

Once the children were asleep, he approached his wife, who was laughing heartily at her favorite comedy show. That joyous laugh made it even harder for him to broach the subject.

Her eyes widened, clearly apprehensive. "Did they contact you again?"
