Good intentions
“You lied to me.”
“And that surprises you?”
He could see the pain, caused by his actions, before he received his answer.
“No. But that still doesn’t justify it. This concerns both of us. You can’t make decisions like that alone.”
“Welcome to my world.”
“John. This is not funny.”
“I'm not laughing. I didn't do this to hurt you or to show you what it feels like to be on the other side. I just... I didn't want you to worry.”
“So you decided to keep the fact that your doctor thought you might have a malignant tumour from me.”

AN:
Today's prompt was 'liar/ lie'.
I apologise for the hurt after yesterday's angst. Tomorrow will be UST. In case that's better. *lol*
I have good and bad news. The good: 'Taken' has now 6 chapters. The bad: It's two more chapters of angst. You can thank Verity Burns and Chocolamousse for that. :D
