He leans his head against Georgia's lightly. "Honestly though? I wouldn't care if he did." Georgia dying had put a lot into perspective for Shaun. And besides that, "Our parents" it's a talent to speak a single word like it's too bitter to keep in his mouth for more than a moment, but Shaun manages it with great skill honed from years of practice "aren't here, so it's not like we'd have to worry about their coming after us for tarnishing the family name." And no one in this world knows them as the kids who grew up as siblings in the public eye. And Shaun is perilously low on fucks to give. All these factors.
