What Damian Knew

For a moment nobody moved.

The crowd on the steps had gone quiet in that avid, pretending-not-to-listen way. Phones hovered half-raised. Somewhere to the left, someone whispered the word *writer*.

Leon felt Aaron's fingers tighten around his, not a warning, exactly. A question.

“It's okay,” Leon said under his breath.

“It isn't.” Aaron's eyes never left Damian. “He told you nobody would ever choose you. In a hallway. In front of people.”

“I know what he said.”

  • THE PASTOR'S SON'S DIRTY LITTLE SECRECT    The Boy in the Dark Car

    Chapter 222The Boy in the Dark CarLeon sent one word.Leon:...Mouse.He watched through the study window as the dark shape at the end of the street went from perfectly still to out of the car in what felt like two seconds. Aaron crossed the road at a half run, then seemed to remember where he was, slowed to a walk, and smoothed his jacket with both hands. By the time he reached the porch, he looked almost composed.Leon's mother opened the door before he could knock.“You must be Aaron,” she said.“Yes, ma'am.” His voice was polite and careful, a version Leon had never heard. “I'm sorry about the hour. I didn't mean to...”“You've been sitting in the cold for an hour.” She stepped aside. “Come in before you freeze.”Aaron blinked. Clearly, he had prepared for a great many outcomes, and *kindness* had not been on the list.---Matthias waited in the hallway with his hands clasped behind his back, the same posture he took at the church door after Sunday service. Aaron stopped in front

  • THE PASTOR'S SON'S DIRTY LITTLE SECRECT    What the Priest Kept  

    Chapter 221What the Priest KeptLeon stared at the notebook.It sat on the blotter like something dug up from a grave. The cover was soft with age, the corner stained where he'd once spilled tea on it. He had written the first story in it when he was fifteen. It was about a boy who watched another boy from across a church, and it was the first time he had ever put the truth into words.“You read it,” he said.“Every page.” His father's voice was low and rough, nothing like the pulpit voice. “More than once.”“Why didn't you say anything?”Matthias didn't answer right away. He lowered himself into the chair behind the desk, slowly, like a man whose knees had suddenly stopped trusting him. His hand lay flat on the Bible beside the notebook, not gripping it. Just resting there.“Because I didn't know what to say,” he said at last.It was such a small, plain sentence that for a moment nobody moved.Hargrove shifted in his chair. “Matthias, if this is going to become a family discussion..

  • THE PASTOR'S SON'S DIRTY LITTLE SECRECT    The Study Door

    Chapter 220 The Study DoorAaron drove like someone who had stopped caring about speed limits.Neither of them spoke. Leon sat with his phone clenched in both hands, rereading his mother's messages until the words stopped meaning anything. *Your father asked me to leave the house.* In eighteen years, his father had never asked his mother to leave a room.“I'm coming in with you,” Aaron said as they turned onto Leon's street.“No.”“Leon...”“If you walk through that door, it stops being about me.” Leon's voice shook, but he held it. “It becomes about the trustee's son and the priest's son, and Hargrove gets exactly the story he wants.”Aaron's jaw worked. He pulled up half a block from the house and killed the engine. For a moment he stared straight ahead, hands tight on the wheel.Then he reached over, took Leon's phone, tapped the screen a few times, and handed it back.“It's recording,” he said. “Put it in your pocket. If anything goes wrong, I want it on tape.”“That's...”“Legal

  • THE PASTOR'S SON'S DIRTY LITTLE SECRECT    The Woman in the Study

    Chapter 219 The Woman in the StudyMr. Blake read the message over his son's shoulder.Leon watched it happen. He watched the courteous mask stay in place for exactly two seconds, then slide away, leaving something flat and furious underneath. It was the first honest expression the man had worn all evening.“Marguerite Whitlock,” he said quietly.“You know her?” Aaron asked.“She's been my assistant on the foundation board for three years.” His voice had gone very even. “She arrived at six to prepare the documents for tonight. She's in my study.”“And she works for Hargrove,” Leon said.“Evidently, she works for both.”Mr. Blake rang a small silver bell beside his plate. The housekeeper appeared in the doorway almost at once.“Please ask Ms. Whitlock to join us.”“Sir, she...” The housekeeper hesitated. “She left a few minutes ago. She said she'd forgotten something in her car.”Nobody moved.Then Aaron was out of his chair and through the door, and Leon followed without thinking, th

  • THE PASTOR'S SON'S DIRTY LITTLE SECRECT    Dinner at the Blake House  

    Chapter 218Dinner at the Blake HouseThe Blake residence didn't look like a home. It looked like a decision someone had made about how the world should see them.Aaron's car crunched up a long gravel drive lined with trimmed hedges and lamps that cast perfect circles of gold on the ground. The house at the end of it was pale stone and tall windows, every light on, every curtain open. Nothing about it hid anything.Leon had put on his one good shirt. It still felt like a costume.“You don't have to eat anything,” Aaron said, killing the engine. His hands stayed on the wheel. “You don't have to agree to anything either. If it gets bad, say my name and we leave. I mean it. I don't care what he says.”“Okay.”“Leon.”“I heard you.” Leon turned toward him. “Are *you* okay?”Aaron's smile was thin. “I've been coming to this house for nineteen years. I've never once been okay.”He got out before Leon could answer.---A housekeeper opened the door and led them through a hallway of polished

  • THE PASTOR'S SON'S DIRTY LITTLE SECRECT    A Promise Worth Breaking  

    Chapter 217A Promise Worth BreakingLeon looked at Damian.Y Damian's eyes were pleading, wide and bright with something close to fear. It was the same face Leon had memorized across four years of classrooms, and for a heartbeat the old loyalty pulled at him, warm and automatic.Then he thought of the corridor. *Me and you. Even if it gets bad.*“He told me something,” Leon said.Damian's face fell.“Leon...”“I'm sorry.” He kept his voice low and steady. “But I'm not going to start this with secrets. I promised him I wouldn't.”Aaron's gaze slid from one of them to the other, sharp and unreadable. “Start talking.”“There's a condition.” Leon turned to face him fully. “You can't go after Damian. Whatever I tell you, he's not the enemy. He came here because he's scared for us, and if you treat him like a threat, I'll never forgive you.”A muscle moved in Aaron's jaw. For a moment the old Aaron surfaced, calculating and cold, weighing leverage against pride.“Fine,” he said at last. “I

  • THE PASTOR'S SON'S DIRTY LITTLE SECRECT    WHEN IT BEGAN

    Chapter 1Leon was hunched over his desk, the blue glow of his computer reflecting on his sweet filled face. His room was filled with silence and the only sound slicing through the air was him clicking away at his keyboard. The words he typed didn’t register in his eyes. Instead, they took form, i

  • THE PASTOR'S SON'S DIRTY LITTLE SECRECT    ON THE WALK

    Chapter 5By the time Leon had walked through the front door of his house, the world began to spin. The fever had not subsided. If anything, it had gotten worse. His face burned as the hallway seemed to titled as he walked through it. The familiar scent of Oakwood drifted through the house, mixing
