Peter wasn't really lying either. It was basically the truth without all the gorey details.

Wade nodded even though it wasn't a question.

Now that... that made him feel bad. Wade knew a little bit about what happened to Peter's uncle. Ben was leagues ahead of him and the thought of Wade being compared to someone like that made his stomach churn. Ben deserved better. He tried to hide his reaction, smile plastered back on his face again. "Oh. I was in the military too, special forces. I'm actually from Canada."

Wade swallowed hard. Lord. These questions. "35," he answered honestly, taking a another sip of tea afterward.
