Chris knew the woman in the photograph on Leon’s desk was their mother. She shared Leon’s blue eyes and blond hair. And her smile was so gentle.

He held the frame in his hands. “What happens after we die?”

“You go to Heaven,” Surprised by the tightness in his throat, Leon repeated what he’d been taught as a child.

“Will I go to Heaven?”

“Yes, but that won’t be for a long time.”

“Will you?”

After everything he’d done and seen in his job, Leon didn’t know if he still believed in Heaven, so he opted for a hopeful lie.
