The Truth About Lying
“There’s this guy downtown, Father Vincent. He runs a
mission now, but he used to be a priest. He ended up
quitting because he couldn't bridge the gap between what he
was preaching and what he was actually seeing on the
streets. These days, he spends all his time with people
who’ve hit rock bottom, figuring out the lies they tell
themselves just to get through the day. He’s a bit of an
oddball, some people think he’s gone off the deep end, but
I’ve never met anyone who understands what makes people
tick better than he does.”
"Can you put us together?”
“The hacker, maybe. Father Vincent, sure. I volunteer
there sometimes. I'll set it up."
At the door, Claire hugged him.
"I'm still mad at you," she said into his shoulder.
"I know."
"And I don't forgive you yet."
"I know."
"But I'm glad you're trying."
"Me too."
Henry walked home through the quiet streets. His phone
buzzed. A text from Rachel: Heard you quit. Proud of you.
Doesn't change anything between us, but still. Proud.
