This was news to her. She had noticed Galileo had seemed different of late, but she hadn't likened his mood to unhappiness. Perhaps now that she thought about it, his actions could point toward that, but she couldn't be certain. And this business with a son...she had never known. "That's strange. I didn't know he had a son."

It wasn't surprising, though. They weren't close, and now that he was out on his duties and seemingly lost, she might not get to know him well for some time. "Hopefully he comes back to us. I'd hate to think we drove him away because we chose to protect Paar and her kids by keeping them away from Shadow."
