“...I’m not following”
“If no one knows, then what would the harm be, really? If they don’t know, they can’t be upset by it, or be mad at us, or try to stop us…”
He raised an eyebrow quizzically. “Are you saying, we could be together, just, without telling anyone. Like keep it a secret?”
She let herself think about it for another moment, and then shrugged. “Yeah. Yeah I think I am saying that.”
