“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.
