As for the past mornings, I let him have his own private moments in my study until he came to me. He never told me anything about it. I had a feeling he knew that I saw him looking at our picture, but he never asked me about it, so I kept quiet. It wasn’t my place to ask him about it. Rai, Damian, and I.. We all had our secrets, even five years ago. But we never pushed each other to tell those secrets. It was one of my many regrets though. I should’ve asked Rai about his secret.
“Damian.. If five years ago I pushed Rai, or maybe even you, into telling me about Rai’s secret, would it change anything?” I asked him as he settled himself on the dining table.
“It wouldn't, Baby girl. Rai wouldn’t have told you, and as much as I wanted to tell you, I couldn’t. I had promised Rai not to tell you,” he said matter-of-factly as he sipped his coffee.
“I still wish he’d told me. I would’ve had more time with him then.” I sighed.
