Their Secret

“Not really…” I replied to her earlier question while feeling quite confused at what she was trying to get at this time around.

“Ace, you didn’t tell her? Even after all that we discussed, you still didn’t tell her?” Elizabeth turned to ask Ace with clear surprise in her face.

Ace looked slightly uncomfortable before his face returned to its calm and almost emotionless state again. Although his reaction was very brief, I didn’t miss it.

“She’ll find out soon anyways…” he muttered.

“I have no idea why he’s like this. Well, I guess he’s right that you will find out soon,” Elizabeth said as she turned to me and then showed me a bright smile that left me even more confused than ever before.

The way the two of them were acting stimulated my curiosity. Suddenly, it felt like I could no longer wait to find out what exactly these two had been hiding from me. What was it that Ace was supposed to tell me?

“Umm…what did you two discuss?” I asked with my eyes on Elizabeth.
