"I don't remember my first life yet," Melissa explained. "But when Mommy found me, I was a nun. I really believed that what Christ wanted from me was abstinence. I thought sex was such a terrible thing. My sister... my blood sister... she had her life ruined because she thought sex was great... I don't like to think about that."
Danny nodded. "You don't have to go on..."
"It's okay." Melissa smiled a bit. "Mommy visited the convent one day. I'm not sure why. But She saw me and I saw Her and... I don't remember what happened, but I was in tears at the end. I thought I had betrayed my Lord. I was so scared of hell, but I was more scared of having to see Him displeased with me when I died."
Danny touched his arm.
"What made you stop being scared?" he asked quietly.
Melissa touched her lip and thought about it for a moment.
