One lie...one word only...on one day when the isolation was overwhelming. After years of guarded explanations, I voiced the other possible reply to his inevitable daily question about the nature of our relationship.

"Are we...?"

His reaction was unexpected. Pain evident in his eyes, he asked only one question before retreating into himself, into silence, for the remainder of his day's awareness.

"What about Malcolm?"
