Jackie Dinley, 24, is a young woman caught in the uneasy space between girlhood and adulthood, wrestling with her faith, her identity, and the quiet ache of becoming. Raised in a strict Irish Catholic household, she carries both resentment toward the rituals and expectations that shaped her.
Her journey takes a turn when she reunites with Father Marlon, a priest from her childhood - a man once distant, now softened with age and quiet sorrow. What begins as a simple reconnection during her first confession evolves into something deeper: a fragile, complicated friendship that forces both of them to confront feelings they never intended to share.

Keeping His Commandments
Desire, lust, love... You're not supposed to feel those things for a woman, and you're definitely not allowed to act on them when you're a Catholic priest. I had taken vows; vows that I've upheld for eight celibate years, and had made a promise to God that I swore I would never break. But then I met Eva, my stepmother's estranged twenty-eight-year-old daughter, and she made me forget who I was. What I was. I prayed for guidance. I prayed for the strength not to give into temptation. My prayers went unanswered...or so I thought.Complete
