Where was he going with this? I was so terrified, I could feel my mouth going dry and my palms getting damp with sweat.
“Oh, yeah?” I asked, wanting him to reveal what he was thinking before I said anything more.
“And I wanted to tell you that your secret is safe with me. I know it’s a delicate situation, and I’ll give you as much time as you need to tell everyone, especially Dahlia. I know you’re worried about what she might think, even though I don’t think you really need to be. You know she cares about your happiness just as much as I do.”
I sighed and felt like I was about to fall over with how relieved I was.
