Secrets and silence

JARED'S POV

secrets were better left unsaid because of the impact they bore.

As I walked, Arielle's cabin my destination, the weight of the conversation I had with Mrs Meyers settled heavily on my shoulders. I couldn't imagine how hard it must have been for Mrs. Meyers to bear such a secret all these years if it was this hard for me.

I was unsure if I should share what I had just learned with him, but something about his demeanor made me think he might already know more than he was letting on. After all, it was he who asked me to go to the security room, and I think it was a cue to see and hear things for myself. But I decided to ask anyway.
