“What do I tell him? I had kept Irene secret for so long! I still want it to be that way. I never thought I’d be caught. The overconfidence that it would be a well-kept secret took over me to a point where I was sloppy about it. I didn’t even prepare what to say if I was caught. I am so confused! I don’t know what to do!” The thoughts were reaching the station one after the other in my mind. I was trying my best to process what to tell and it wasn’t helping at all. I finally decided to tell him. There’s no way out. I took a deep breath preparing myself for the storm approaching.
