Sean throws his head back and stares pensively at the ceiling.
Sure, he's lied many times. Small lies, sometimes innocent ones, sometimes not so innocent ones, lies that he felt would not really hurt anyone or alter the course of reality.
But big lies?
He bites his lip, considering..
Yes, there is a big lie he's told, and he's told it more than once... every time he's told himself It doesn't matter.. when it mattered, when admitting to himself that it mattered would maybe have made him act differently.
All those times he lied just to himself, no harm in that, no one got hurt.. except for himself.
