"She wasn't wrong to be upset, and I know, I know I... I just don't think I can handle anyone else hating me."
I've never heard Wanda so defeated, and it shakes me. She's always been so strong. I reach for her hand and squeeze it.
"I very much doubt I'll hate you," I say. "Even if you have done something very bad." My voice is quite serious. "I'm not a good man, Wanda, though I try to be a decent one, and I don't judge people by higher standards than those I hold myself to. And I am not sure those are so very high, though Hermia has improved me a little," I add with a small smile. "I won't necessarily approve, but unless you hurt Hermia, or Alice, or Fiona, I would not hate you."
