A secret…
She wanted to know a secret of mine, but I wasn’t sure what to say. I wasn’t the type to share much. Honestly, I hadn’t had many people to share anything with. Even as a child, I had been a bit of a loner.
“The first few years of my life, everyone thought I was mute.”
Helena looked at me in shock and sat up, moving closer to me. “What?”
“Yeah, I didn’t speak,” I explained.
“Why?”
“I’m not sure. I just didn’t… I started to say a few things as I got a little older, but after my parents died, I became quiet again. My uncle was the one who helped me break out of my shell. He taught me not to be so afraid,” I admitted.
“Wow…”
I nodded slightly.
“I don’t remember much, to be honest. My brain has sort of blocked out that part of my life, but I’ve been told about it,”
