SECRETS IN THE SHADOWS

Ambrosia lays down beside Nikolas and cuddles him, Nikolas rolls over and faces Ambrosia.


"Ambrosia, I love you so much! You're so beautiful!" Nikolas said.


"I love you too! I can't wait to start our lives together." Ambrosia replied.


"I want to marry you someday!" Nikolas whispered.


They lay there for a little while and Nikolas gets up, while Ambrosia sleeps. He walks down to the garden and sits at the bench where they always sit. He ponders about how he will tell Ambrosia about her mother, the more he keeps it a secret, the more their relationship will not last. As he reflects when Ambrosia had told him that her mother went missing, he should have told her then. He knew when she said, she did not want any secrets in their relationship. Now he is keeping the most important thing a secret.
