Summary

He stared back at him, half of his mind waiting for the ground to swallow him up. “Let me guess. Married?”
His expression softened as he shook his head, a genuine look of guilt crossing his face.

He didn’t move his head this time but the ‘no’ felt unspoken. He was ready to hear he was just plain not interested.
“I… I’m a priest.”
