The tricky thing about confession is that I knew the priest and he knew me. He'd listened to a lot of my confessions over the years, he'd seen me grow up from an insecure young teenager when he first moved to the parish, all the way up to now.

Thankfully there was a second guy, Father Davies, who only moved here a month ago. He was a younger priest, and this was the first time he'd been put into a position of authority, with Father Miles acting as his mentor. He probably knew me by name, and he might have made the connection that my dad ran the addiction clinic funded by the church, but I doubted he knew much more about me. I'm pretty sure he'd been meeting so many people over the last month that he wouldn't be able to remember my voice, either. I figured out the times that he was running the confessional and went on over.

Our church was grandiose, as all churches tended to be, but just walking into mine made me feel at home. The tall imposing walls were supposed to make me feel humble in this house of God, but all it did is make me feel comforted that I had someone so powerful on my side.

Hopefully Father Davies would help me clarify the path that God had given me.

I leaned against the confessional booth wall and sighed. I could hear Father Davies shifting around on the other side. He'd already asked me how long it had been since my last confession, and now he was just waiting for me to speak.

"Um," I started. "I've been lying to my father lately. I just can't help it."

"About anything bad?"

"No--I mean--yes--" My entire body was shaking. I pinned my thumbs inside my fists. "I've been having... feelings... for another woman."

He didn't say anything for a long time.

"That's what I've been lying to my father about. She's not like anyone else I know, she's... different. She's in a rock band and drinks a lot. But she's nice, I... I think I like her." I felt like I was going to throw up my heart. I liked her. I knew that already, deep down, but saying it out loud made it seem so much more real. I felt a little dizzy. "And I've been lying to my father about her."

"You shouldn't be lying to your father," Father Davies said hesitantly, like he was avoiding saying something else. "About the other part..." He didn't say anything for a long moment. "Official church position is that it's a sin." That was an odd way to phrase it. "I personally believe that..." He cleared his voice. "Well, you can't really control feelings, so having them is not a sin."

"But acting on them is?"

"According to the church. Officially."

Why was he talking like that? "Father, I'm confused."

"You are going through a very confusing trial right now."

This confession was a confusing trial! "Why do you keep saying that, the 'official church position'?"

Father Davies didn't say anything for a long moment.
