Georgia -- his friend Georgia, not George, Georgia 2.0, whose opinions on the matter remain a mystery and, Mahir is sure, always will, at least to him -- Georgia would say they were. But Georgia saw in black and white, and even if Mahir hadn't seen in more shades of grey before, being a parent teaches you a lot of things. Some of those things are shocking and beautiful and impossible to put into words -- like the fact that you've never truly loved as much, as selflessly, or as selfishly until you're holding your child in your arms. Some of them are harsher, and crueler, and perhaps more important -- like the fact that there are such things in this world as necessary lie, that there's more reasons to lie than just to save your skin.
