"Just like that, the both of you became friends?" Gabriel asked after Zoe finished narrating how she and Olivia turned out to be friends in the end.
"Yeah, crazy, right?" Zoe breathed, still finding it hard to believe that she now had a girlfriend too, "I mean, for months the both of us have been working at the same institution and yet our communication never went past the casual greetings."
"And you trust her?" Gabriel asked, holding her gaze.
Zoe thought over it and nodded her head in the end, "I know it's weird, but I think that I trust her. On our way home, she gave me her secret as well to build trust between us. Perhaps I made the wrong choice."
"Who knows?" Gabriel shrugged, "Moreover, what's the worst that can happen? Your secret gets out and the whole school knows that your family business was bankrupted years and was bought over by another. In one word, there would be gossip and long stares, but in the end, you're free. "
