Sam sat on the edge of your bed staring at the wall with his eyes fixed intently, as though the words had been hidden somewhere in the patterns. The bedside lamp dimly lit the room. Sam could only feel his heart hammering and pounding because of the secret he had been carrying.

You were brushing your teeth in the bathroom. You viewed it as just another night with him, one of many during which you would talk cuddle, and just enjoy each other's company. You had always thought that as long as you were together, nothing would separate you two.

You smiled as you entered the room again and saw Sam seated. You were unaware of what was going to happen. You got up onto the bed next to him, laid your head on his shoulder, and leaned into him Sam moved slightly to face you before clearing his throat. He was aware that he had to tell you about it. It was time to be honest with you since the burden became too large.

"There's something I need to tell you," he said quietly.
