Saturday Snippet: He Didn't Say It As an Insult

The following snippet comes from

Charlie's Choice, 

Book 0 (the prequel) of the Atwell Kin series

          Charlie called out towards his father's retreating back. "He said I'm a bastard."

         Charlie watched his father halt in place and arch his back. Owen twisted around to face his son, his voice reflecting a quiet empathy. “It doesn’t pay to get riled at every slur tossed your way, especially when they come from the likes of Fergus Campbell.”

          Charlie closed his eyes as he inhaled deeply. “He didn’t say it as an insult, Pa. He spoke it as a statement of fact—because my mother was Kansa.”
