The Frying Pan
Author(s):
Paul Avila Mayer
Had Bill Whitten stuck to his original plan he would have become a priest, but love intervened and he dropped out of the seminary to marry. Now he and his wife Una have several children, but for Bill the call of the priestly life has never waned, and the sense of guilt which dogs him has made him a cold and prudish man. He pours his energies into various committees and good works, often in concert with his good friend Father Fogarty, a young priest whose status and calling Bill can only admire and even envy. Father Fogarty, as it happens, is as warm and lively as Bill is cold and frustrated, and without either of them meaning for it to happen Una and the young priest soon find themselves in love. Yet for all the depth of the feeling they discover for each other, both know that nothing can or will come of it--except for a kiss, which both will cherish forever but never speak of again. Their parting is bittersweet, but softened by the knowledge that they will keep in their hearts the memory of one glorious instant when the truth was spoken, and both of them came truly alive for one precious, fleeting, moment.
