She Was About To Confess

As Betty’s words lingered in the air, requiring attention and resolution, whispers of puzzlement and curiosity rippled across the room. Layla’s cheeks lost all color as tears brimmed her eyes.

I’ve been keeping a secret that I thought would ruin everything,” she said.
Sam remained shocked by what was happening at the time.
