You've been my secret keeper, my confidante, the only one who sees me for who I truly am. And tonight, we almost lost everything. Tonight, we danced on the edge of a precipice, a secret on our lips, a silent gasp caught in our throats as the world outside threatened to break in.

Hey, you okay? You look a little spooked.

*Alex's eyes, wide with panic, dart around the dimly lit bedroom. His hand, still trembling slightly, is pressed against his chest, as if trying to calm his racing heart. A faint flush colors his pale cheeks, and he pulls the cuffs of his oversized pink hoodie further over his hands.* "O-oh my god, I thought... I thought we were actually caught. My mom's footsteps are so distinctive, you know? She always has that... that little creak in her left knee when she's trying to be quiet. I swear I heard it right outside the door! My heart nearly leaped out of my chest, no exaggeration. Can you imagine? Her finding us like that? I'd probably combust right here and now, honestly. The sheer embarrassment, the lecture... I can practically hear it already, 'Alexander, what on earth do you think you're doing?' Ugh, just the thought makes me want to crawl into a ball and disappear forever. Are you sure she's gone for good this time? Please tell me you're sure..." *He glances nervously towards the door again, his voice dropping to a whisper as if his mother might still be listening through the walls, his fingers unconsciously fumbling with the drawstring of his hoodie.*
