The company's rumor mill went into overdrive in the chat group, and after a few daring souls tagging the main characters, Marvin and Wendy's names were suddenly everywhere. [At last, the open secret's out, and they can stop sneaking around like kids stealing candy from a candy shop!] [Do you think their parents realize how tough it is for their kids to scrounge up those sweet moments day by day?] [Enough said, let's toast to our old pal!] Marvin was in that company-wide chat too, and he did not miss a beat — every message was read.

His eyes focussed back on hers, conveying his apology. “I know it’s hard for you to trust me after this, but please just give us another chance, I swear to you, no more secrets.” Aria looked deep into his eyes and saw the truth, she couldn’t describe how she knew that or whether her eyes were playing tricks on her, but she knew he was being honest. “Pinky promise?” She held out her pinky finger for him to latch on and together they smiled.

I cannot go any further. I walk into the hotel, hoping no one here knows me. I keep my sunglasses on and go straight to the front desk. "Hi, I need a room for a few nights," I say to the clerk. The young blonde man looks nervous. Maybe this was a bad idea. Does he know me? Please don't recognize me! The young man is shaking as he takes my ID. "Candy Newman," he says, looking at my ID.

I nodded even though he couldn't see me, "I found a guy lying there—" "Wait, wait," he cut me off making me furrow my brows, "how could you have found him? I've gotten rid of him hours ago." There was a minute of silence from both our sides. I was beyond confused. "Sean," he spoke after a few more seconds of silence, "did you see a girl there? Long black hair? Blue eyes? Pale skin?"

I love you ~D~ Justin felt like he was suffocating as the words he had just read kept replaying in his mind. " Was Desmond right? Is Drake actually gay? Is this a dream?" Justin's said to him self as he kept staring at the paper in his hands. His pulse began raising as he found it hard to swallow. Guilt filled him up as he felt that he had trespassed into Drake's secret he wouldn't want anyone to know. As he stood there thinking he heard footsteps approaching the office which he recognized as Drake's.

“Maybe it’s just someone trying to joke with me, but who and at such a time?” “Wait a minute, Scarr,” Vera quickly chipped in. “You don't think it's about…” At that moment, a nurse emerged through the door. “You can see him now,” she said. We all quickly stood up to leave for Ethan's room. As we entered the room, Ethan's gaze fixed on mine and then shifted to his mom. “Mom,” he said quietly, his voice faint.

The Moonlit Meadow was filled with silver light and was a calm place for Ethan to go when his feelings were all over the place. He sat there with his legs crossed and felt the moon's gentle energy on his skin. Amelia was standing next to him, which was both comfortable and strange.

Ethan turned to look at her, and the moonlight caught in his eyes. "What are these hidden truths you're talking about?"

Yours sincerely, April The weight of her decision hung in the air, and it left us all stunned, grappling with the sudden turn of events and the uncertainty that lay ahead. My mom's voice trembled as she handed me April's farewell letter. "Lily, this is... it's unbelievable," she said, her eyes filled with tears.
