I have to tell you something.
Don’t tell anyone ok?
Promise?
Ok.
Here it is,
But don’t tell…

Did you tell her?!
She said you did.
I promise I won’t be mad,
I just want the truth…

I’ll ask one more time,
I promise I won’t be mad.
The truth.
That can’t be the truth!
Because now THREE other people know.
And I didn’t tell them…

I can’t trust you any more…

Psst,
I have to tell you something.
Don’t tell anyone else, ok?
Pinky promise?
Ok,
Here it is.
But don’t tell…
