Sharing Secrets

"It was a necessary action," Roy spoke righteously. 

"But she is your girlfriend," Anna said while staring at him. She was wondering if this was how relationships worked. "And the person you are to get married to. Even though she attacked me, I think you were harsh."

Anna was grateful that Roy was defensive about her safety, but she didn't think he would go to that extent. At least he should have ended the matter with a little scolding. Now, she was wondering what would be going through Becca's mind.

Roy agreed with her that he was harsh, but only he knew the reason he acted that way. He released a deep breath and continued leading the way inside the house. 

"I found out an ugly secret while in the office today and honestly, I don't know how to feel," he mumbled as he stuffed his hands inside his pocket.
