“Can you lay off me for all the sins of Catholicism? I’m no Catholic!”
“Deny it thrice before the cock crows.”
“Where did all this bitterness come from? It’s not like you.”
“If you’re not a Catholic, then you’ve only exchanged religion for
politics. Didn’t all our parents warn us never to discuss religion or politics?
They knew sooner or later both would come down to a third subject they
never discussed: sex.”
“Don’t scare me,” Ryan said.
“I’ll scare you if I think it’s good for you, Ry. Do you want to know
what I think is the truth?”
