James sometimes wondered when his life had become one lie after another.

He'd lied to Steff about his job, never mentioning the blood on his hands.

When he took charge of the anomaly project, he'd lied about what they did and promised to be home more.

He was still lying now. To the public about the anomalies and creatures. To his people, pretending everything was fine when he was breaking inside.

He'd lied for so long, James wasn't sure he even knew what the truth was any more.

So it was almost a relief when Abby finally made him stop.

Good for Abby in getting him to talk about Steff. Nice drabble.

Abby was the only one who could and, no matter what James pretends, he knows he needed to talk.

Glad you liked it and thanks for reading.
