Both Jasper and I were unusually quiet at breakfast, but no one noticed, everyone was too busy. The whole family was converged together, and the two of us weren't the center of attention. Not even close. Mari noticed something was up and tried to grill me about it, but this was one secret I was never going to tell her. I was afraid of what she'd say, how she'd feel. See, I know Mari. And if I did tell her about it, even if she was upset about it, she'd hide it. She always does – she never shoes weakness and she never admits it when she's been hurt by something someone's done. I'm scared, I'm scared shitless that if I tell her then I've lost my best friend forever. So I vowed to myself that Mari would never know.
