And I sort of made an offhand comment about, um, about how if you and I ever got married, that would make Aphrodite my step-sister-in-law," Sam said, giving her forced smile. Because she probably wouldn't punch him in the face if he was smiling, right?

"And I maybe didn't realize you hadn't mentioned to her the fact that you're sort of related to her."
