Secret: Maximilian (White Lie)

 

The second biggest regret of Maximilian’s life: Pixie didn't die under the wheel of his truck like he told the kids she did. He simply lost sight of her in the garage one morning. He searched the neighborhood for six hours, finally slouching back through the front door to Rubia a broken man, terminally ashamed and riddled with frostbite. He couldn't look her in the eyes. That night was the coldest night of the year.

 

Rather than let his kids believe their dog froze to death, he made up this story.
