I couldn’t breathe for a second.
Not because I was scared…
But because I didn’t understand how.
⸻
There was no way she could know.
I had been careful.
Too careful.
⸻
Or at least… I thought I was.
⸻
“What are you talking about?” I said.
Trying to stay calm.
⸻
She didn’t answer.
Just leaned back.
Still watching me.
⸻
“You’re not as invisible as you think,” she said quietly.
⸻
Something inside me dropped.
⸻
Because that sentence…
That sentence wasn’t random.
⸻
It meant she knew more than she was saying.
⸻
I tried to think.
Fast.
What did she see?
What did she hear?
⸻
Then I remembered.
⸻
The night.
⸻
The one mistake I thought no one noticed.
⸻
The moment I looked over my shoulder…
and saw someone in the hallway.
⸻
I thought it was nothing.
Just a shadow.
⸻
But it wasn’t.
⸻
It was her.
⸻
She had seen everything.
⸻
“You were never supposed to find out,” I said before I could stop myself.
⸻
And the moment those words left my mouth…
I knew.
⸻
I had just confirmed it.
⸻
Her expression didn’t change.
But her eyes did.
⸻
And in that moment…
everything between us shifted.
⸻
What would you do if someone knew your biggest secret?
