The Secret We Keep

Morgan

Everyone around me seems to be growing up and moving on, while I am stuck. Isolated. Still living at home. 

Until Paddy O'Keefe comes back into my life. 

Our friendship blooms and our connection grows, although he refuses to cross the line into something more.

He encourages my dreams and teaches me new things. All while trying to sort through his own trauma.

But in doing so, he sees the truth: that I have to let go of the one thing I cherish most that will change my life forever. 

I’m not sure if I’m strong enough to do that… Or if I’m brave enough to make the first step.

But for the first time in forever, Paddy makes me believe it might just be possible.
