"I'll try to be quick," he says. "There's just one big issue I need to confess. I'll catch up with you once I'm done."

With that, he heads over to the confessionals.

聲gel lucks out and is able to get his confession in first. There are about half a dozen people in line after him.

The pastor settles into the booth after a few minutes of waiting and gives 聲gel the standard spiel by rote.

I'm not Catholic and a bit occupied right this second to look up what he's supposed to say, sorry!

Also not Catholic and I'm fine hand waving the specifics of the ritual.

"Forgive me Father for I have sinned. It's been over two years since my last confession. I have two sins that weigh heavily on me. I was angry with my abuelo when he sent me away to this new school. I thought he was being cruel to me but now I see he was trying to help me.

"And recently I've had impure thoughts about a fellow student."


OOC Got confused on the dates and all. I fixed his second sin. :)

"Hrm... Have you spoken with him since coming here? It takes a strong heart to do something for those you love when they don't understand or resent what you are doing. If you understand now, then I am sure you can reconcile," the pastor muses.

"I feel guilty for how I felt. I know I was unfair to him and said unkind things. I did speak to him briefly on the phone. He was happy to hear from me."

"Ah, then it sounds like he has forgiven you, just as the Lord forgives you. If it still weighs on you, my son, talk to him about it as well. As for the other," the pastor says and then pauses to contemplate.

"As for the other, I would be more surprised if you had not, assuming the other student is who I think it is?"

"Yeah, you've met her," he admits.

At this point we can probably move on. He can give 聲gel some minor penance and we can get moving with the rest of this side trip.

The pastor says something rather Catholic, "Women have been luring men into sin since the beginning. Stray strong in your faith when are tempted, my son."

The standard ritual words of forgiveness follow, and then 聲gel is free to go.

Outside, Tammy and Larry are in one of the larger clumps of people, exchanging friendly small talk. They break away when 聲gel comes out and meet him along the way back to the truck.

Before they get into the truck, Taammy stops and says, "Hey, 聲gel?"

"Want to go out on an actual date?" she says as casually as people talk about the weather or something.

"Yes," he says. "But I don't have any money so, I can't really take you anywhere. One of the reasons I want a job."

Tammy smiles at him, "I'll pay this time. But you get to figure out where we're going. Let's say, Saturday for lunch?"

"Okay," he says. "What do you like to eat? Somehow I suspect you're used to stuff very different than my abuelo makes. I'll want to find someplace we'll both be happy."

"I love Mexican food, actually," Tammy says excitedly, "I would go to the Mission district with Mary and eat at one of those dirty little holes in the wall that only take cash just about every week before she got pregnant."

Tammy shrugs, "If there's anything to do. We can always just walk around, like, and get to know the town a bit better if nothing else. Oh! Or we could go check out this train ride they have near here..."

Tammy starts walking towards the truck after taking her phone out of her handbag and tapping on it with her thumb.

"A train ride could be fun, but I would enjoy just walking with you," he says. "Let's play that by ear why don't we?"

聲gel walks to the truck with her. Once there, he will help her into the cab again.

"Thanks again Larry," he says to their driver. "I really appreciate you bringing us here."

"I would love to join you every Sunday," he says gratefully. "Father Marcus seemed nice and there weren't any real problems with anyone. Hopefully showing up here will let them see me as a person, not a boogieman."

He glances at Tammy, "You're welcome to join me, but I understand if you'd rather not. I appreciated your company today though."

Tammy grins mischievously, "And miss the opportunity to watch Mrs. Wong squirm some more? I don't think so. That and it's kind of nice to like, dress up more than usual. I haven't worn this thing in at least a year."

聲gel laughs. "You have an evil streak in you. Somehow I suspect I'm never going to win over Mrs. Wong, but I'm okay with that. Her husband seemed okay.

"It's a very nice dress, looks beautiful. And you make it look even better. I like your hair down by the way."

"Hey, just because I can't bring myself to say anything mean doesn't mean I don't enjoy seeing people get what they deserve," she says.

She spends the rest of the trip back smiling and leaning against 聲gel...



That seems like a good end of thread to me.
