I never thought it would come to this. You always think a secret will only be a secret for so long, that one day, you will turn to someone else and say, “I’ve never told anyone this . . . ,” and the secret will vanish and become something else. It’s only when you get to the end of your life, when you’re lying on a wipe-clean carpet with only yourself for company, you realize that you never did manage to find the right someone to tell.
