“What are you smiling at?” Mr. Kiesler asked his wife.
“At a photo of Jürgen’s robot with the built-in camera taken outside of our old house.”
“He could have been anything he wanted but he chose to be a priest.
“You said that you weren’t upset about that anymore and that if it made him happy, that was all that mattered.”
“I know what I said.”
“How could he ignore God’s call for him to be a priest?”
“I guess he couldn’t.”
Elsewhere, Father Kiesler removed his cassock and walked over to the bed where Monifa lay, waiting for him.

Dear Adele,
Not a priest I’d trust.
Shalom,

Dear Rochelle,
He’s the son whom the mother is proud of because he’s a priest but unknown to her and the rest of his family, he’s in a relationship with Monifa, one of the students at the Catholic school where he’s in charge of the parish. His relationship with Monifa almost cost them both their lives.
Shalom,
Adele
