"Sharon," Rick began, his voice gentle, almost pleading now. He kept his tone as sincere as possible, his eyes reflecting a mix of sadness and vulnerability. "I know this is a lot, and I wouldn't ask if it wasn't important…"

Sharon raised her eyebrows slightly, curiosity flickering across her face, but she remained silent, waiting for him to continue.
"I need you to keep this to yourself," Rick said, his voice lowering as though he didn't want anyone else to hear. "Please, don't tell anyone—not even my father. He… he still doesn't know the full details about the previous truck accident or Jed's involvement in all of this."
