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.

Yay for Abby! I can believe she'd be the one to get through to Lester.

Keeping secrets can destroy everything. It's good that Abby forced him to give them up.

This is such a powerful drabble. Lots of suppressed emotions that need release.

Aw, poor Lester! All those secrets would really take a toll. Good thing he's got Abby! I can totally see her being able to get through to him.

I was wondering when this series would come back around to the Abby/Lester interactions.

James can rely on Abby, whether he wants to or not.
