“Does that mean yes?” demanded Zeke, a spoonful of mashed potatoes halfway to his mouth.
“No,” Milo replied with gentle firmness. “You’ll move up to my class when the time’s right.”
“Two years, plus a half.”
The mailman smiled. “Have you been counting down?”
“My whole life!”
Ethan chuckled.
“Meanwhile, you know where to find me. Not everything you learn about God comes from Sunday school.”

“Any time.”
“I got one.” All seriousness, the boy asked, “According to God, is a secret the same as a lie?”

“Yep.”
“Is it something you can tell me about?”
The boy glanced around the crowded room. “I’d mostly rather not. But since it’s you … I could show you.”
Milo’s expression shifted, and Ethan was sure it was a Sending. “Sure, Zeke. Where and when?”
“Can you come over after church?”
He offered a reprise. “If your parents don’t mind, my ’Eke.”
