A/N: For P100 prompt 738: Little White Lie. I think this just about meets the prompt… maybe. IDK. Angsty angst. For Lester month.


My marriage had ended due to lies.

Not the secret I wouldn’t, couldn’t tell my family, my wife had understood the Official Secrets Act. And I saw no reason to scare them, to tell them that the monster under the bed might really be there.

No, it had been the little things, the white lies I’d told to keep the peace, to avoid the fights I had no wish for my children to witness. My wife thought I didn’t care, but it was to spare my children, all of us from the pointless pain as our marriage headed towards extinction.

Oh, ouch.

So hard to know how much to let the kids see.

Good one.

Definitely ouch. My muse went all angsty.

*nods* James is trying to protect his kids.

Thanks for reading.

Aw, very sad. Poor Lester. (And I think it works fine for the prompt) :D

Sorry, the muse went angsty.

I was mean to Lester and his family. (thanks, I think most of my problem is the post-essay crash)

Thanks for reading.

Lester might allow the hug, this time. Although you will get a glare ;)

Sorry for the sad and thanks for reading.
