The Life-Changing Trip
For the first time, hesitation crept into my heart.
It was not because of Phoebe.
It was because I realized that the trip had been like a mirror, reflecting parts of myself I had always avoided seeing.
I began to wonder whether I had long grown tired of a life that felt too predictable, only lacking the courage to admit it.
One weekend, Shanine brought up the idea of taking another short trip with Phoebe.
Looking into her hopeful eyes, I suddenly understood something.
Once a secret existed, it would never truly disappear.
