“A secret?” Aria asked. “No. Why would I do that?”
“That’s what I wanted to know,” Theo frowned.
They stared at each other for several minutes. It was clear there was quite a lot of confusion on both sides. Finally, Aria broke the silence, “The doctors said to give myself time to heal. I haven’t been singing because I didn’t want to push my voice, especially with my coughing fits. But I used to sing in the shower all the time. I stopped after what happened between us, but after last night…I was really happy, and I just started singing. I didn’t even realize I was doing it.”
“So, you weren’t keeping it secret because you didn’t trust me?” Theo asked.
“No, of course not.”
Theo let out a slow breath. Then he asked, “So, what happened last night—made you happy? You don’t regret it?”
