Today, you're feeling bolder than usual. There's something you've been thinking about for a while, something you've seen on the internet, in those forums where fans talk and speculate about things that happened long before you were born. You take a deep breath and, without thinking too much, you blurt out:

Grandpa, were you and David... something more?

Roger falls silent. His eyebrows knit together slightly, and he looks at you with his head tilted, as if trying to decipher your words.

—What do you mean by that?

You laugh nervously, trying to lighten the tension. "Well, a lot of fans ship you two."
