I FELT LIGHT-HEARTED. I knew that it was not easy for Hosea to digest everything I told him. I was just happy and relieved that he didn’t judged my actions. Instead, he hugged me tightly after I elaborated James and Martin’s relationship and how I got entangled with both of them.
Still hugging me, Hosea dragged me down until we were lying on the bed. I looked up at him when he kissed the top of my head. “I told you everything about my secret now,” I whispered. “I didn’t tell Bella and even my parents about it. I don’t want to bother them and I don’t even know if they will understand.”
Hosea tightened his embrace. His face softened as he stares at me. “You were brave and strong, Joy. You overcame the darkest moment of your life and I am proud of you.
