I didn't sleep that night.
By morning, one thing was clear.
Waiting was dangerous.
So I met Amara again.
"We need to finish this," I said.
She nodded slowly.
"There's one way."
"What?"
"Expose them."
Publicly.
My heart raced.
"How?"
She hesitated.
Then said something unexpected.
"With your birthday party."
My birthday was in three days.
Daniel had already planned something big.
Friends.
Family.
Everyone.
The perfect stage.
"Imagine everyone hearing the truth at once," Amara said.
I pictured Daniel's face.
Nora's shock.
My chest tightened.
It would destroy everything.
But maybe everything was already destroyed.
So I nodded.
"Let's do it."
But as I left the café, a strange feeling crept into my chest.
Because I couldn't stop thinking about something.
What if exposing them…
Also exposed something about Amara?
