Confession

Mia's words shook me to the core. 

Not only because they were shocking themselves, but mostly due to how close they hit home. 

'So she had those doubts as well,' I thought, pretty sure that my guess was correct this time. 

It wasn't once or twice that I noticed there was something strange in our relationship. It was as if there was some weird compulsion that drew us closer, initiating our relationship. 

As if the whole thing was orchestrated from the very beginning. 

But for Mia to react like that...

"Why do you say something like this?" I asked, my face showing just how serious I was. 

As sure as I was that my guess was correct, I didn't dare to just outright assume it. Not until Mia would confirm it herself. 

Because the drawbacks of assuming a falsehood like that could bring down a massive weight upon our mutual trust. 

Mia lowered her head. Her body started to shake a little as she held back her tears.
