204 The truth

Jack 

"Can we have a conversation tonight?'' I ask him as he leads me into his car with a very content smile on his face. 

I guess this impromptu lunch is making him happier than I thought it would "Oh, what about?'' he asks me as the doors are closed and the car ignition is on. 

I look at him and the realization that this is it. This is my opportunity to tell him everything. I can't just back out of it anymore. "About us,'' I say.

he takes a deep breath "What about us? Are you okay? You seem a little off today,'' he says looking at me. 

I look at him and then I realize this is it. This is my opportunity to tell him the truth but the fear is stronger than the courage inside me. He is looking at me, confused and a little worried and this is not supposed to be a big deal.
