“I was going to stop by the house, see if it was in okay shape,” I lied again. Was this the extent of my interactions with my dad? Always lies? “Keeping up with my running.”
I was right, the moment Danny asked about Taylor’s life, the honesty went out the window.
“I see. Look, I have to go, but I do want to talk again, soon. Lunch, maybe?”
Yes, please.
It’d probably end up being another awkward lie-fest for Taylor, though.
“Maybe,” I offered. He offered me a sad smile, then turned to go.
I am so glad to see them reconnect a bit like this, even if Taylor can’t quite allow a full reconnection due to her secret.
