Going back inside
Sarah went outside after him. She placed her hand on John’s shoulder and enquired as to his well-being. John put on a strong face and assured Sarah that he would be alright. But he wasn’t at all certain of that. Sarah gave John a small grin and took his hand. “Let’s go back inside.”

“I really need you to know something about me,” Sarah continued. “It’s a big deal and something that lays heavy on my heart. I hope you understand why I’ve kept this a secret for so long and won’t judge me about it.” John sighed. Just finish it, he reasoned.
