The nuns knelt to pray at the altar while Anne entered the confessional.
"Bless me Father, for I have sinned," she began.
"So have I," said Father Belles. He slid the partition window between them open.
Anne's eyes widened. "Father Belles!"
"Shh," hissed Celeste.
Anne's eyes went to her and grew even wider. "Celeste?" she whispered. "What…"
"There's not much time," said Celeste.
Anne looked at Belles. "They told me you were dead."
"I was. I see you are still a woman of great faith. And I have come back to ask you if you believe that one lie can poison your whole life…and one truth can put it back together again."
Anne stared into the eyes of the priest, back from hell for a long moment. "I do."
"Good," said Celeste. "Then listen carefully."
