Theo froze, suddenly feeling a bit more trapped than he had moments before. Was that it? He admitted that he loathed his ex, that he hadn't wanted a son when Theo was born and Holly was just going to drop it. It felt like a trick.
She joked (at least he thought it was a joke) about the number of deep dark secrets she could handle in one night, but the words hit a bit too close to the mark for comfort. Never once had he thought about what would happen should Holly ever find out that he had been a Death Eater. What she would do if she learned the things he had done? It was nothing compared to not wanting to be a father or not loving the wife of an arranged marriage.
At her words Theo felt compelled to tell her now. Just tell her everything and be done with it. Clearly he was not as good with secrets as he use to be, and if it was going to come out, he’d rather just deal with it now. He opened his mouth to say tell he but he couldn’t find the words. Theo couldn’t bring himself to say anything because he honestly believed that was one thing Holly wouldn’t be able to accept. Not that he particularly would blame her.
He pulled her hand into his. “I am sorry,” he said kissing her knuckles. Theo had loved Holly more than he thought he was capable of loving. He wasn’t quite sure what he would do if he lost her. “I’m ruining the night. Where would you like to go?”
