40 Ways to Tell a Lie

Donna McDonald

Am I just angry or having a true midlife crisis? 
Life is easier when you’re younger. My new bestie that I never wanted is in crisis. Rasmus left weeks ago and hasn’t returned, so I’m in crisis. I put a demon compulsion on my ex to make him forget he was evil, so my daughter is in crisis.  
All Conn seems capable of doing is laughing at me and my pain. We’ll see who gets the last laugh, though. Mulan thinks dating him violates everything in her life and negates the reason she was given her powers.  
Not that I would laugh at Conn’s pain—I wouldn’t. Okay, I would, but I’d feel bad about it. Maybe. Men in general aren’t high up on my “things that make me happy” list at the moment.
