Rowan
After telling them my side, or in specific, my past with Sofea, they were silent. Ryan looked at me like he could not believe it and I had never had the urge to hide my entire being as I do right now. Mika looked at me with pain in her eyes and in Zach’s eyes, sympathy and shock were clear, and I hated it.
I never wanted him or anyone else to know. It was one thing I gave up a year of my youth to follow Ryan when he joined with the wrong crowd. It was another when I had just told the whole ordeal to my partner, and my wife’s ex-crush.
I had hidden this part of my past from everyone. My guy friends were well aware only of my involvement with the link and they had helped me greatly in leaving, but regarding Sofea? They knew nothing.
Even on the day of our wedding, they only though
