"Dr. Worthington's lover's name is Diana Perdue. The kids are hers: Ashley and Natalie. She had them from her marriage. She took them with her to move in with Dr. Worthington when she left her husband. They know lesbians can't raise kids, that husbands get custody, and that Diana is guilty of spousal desertion under the law but so far no one seems to have noticed. The kids say at school that Diana is a widow and Dr. Worthington's just her roommate. Their both eighteen. One's a cheerleader and the other a star soccer player. My girlfriend's name is Maile. She's a high school math teacher and a feminist."
