“What
did you want to tell me?” Gary asked earnestly. “It must be
special, considering the atmosphere of this place.”
Francine
smiled sweetly. “Very special. Life-changing, in fact.” She took
a deep breath and then continued. “I’m breaking up with you,
Gary.”
“What?
WHAT?” His voice rose, but then he clamped his mouth shut,
remembering they were in public.
“I
know your secret, Gary, and I’m not going to keep being complicit
in it. I won’t blow your cover, but that’s all I’ll offer.”
With
that, she stood, blew out the candle and walked away without a
single backward glance.
