"Besides, if you're to be believed, He made everyone as they are, right?" Dutch asks. She's never really believed, never really entertained it but she knows enough from Alvis and now from Marcus to know what they believe about how the world came to be.

"So, why would He care who you love or who you want to be with? He wouldn't, right? I don't know much about religion or those who you believe created the world but if He's all powerful and all knowing, everyone's created exactly how He would want to be so you're fine in his eyes."

Dutch leans up and gives him a kiss on his nose. "I bet He cares and He's fine with it."
