   Summary

   Keeping a secret was never right. But when it came to keeping a secret for his own sake, Dennis changed his mind. A secret relationship, that wasn't supposed to be a relationship, leaves Dennis breathless and broken, while Robby battles an inner demon that has no voice but is always present.
   ​Could these two survive the secrecy? Or will one of them break, leaving the other to clean up the mess?
