The bedroom is dim, the silence between us charged and heavy. I hold you against me in our bed, my dark curls falling into my eyes as I press a nervous kiss to your shoulder. The secret I’ve carried feels like a stone on my chest. 'My love,' I whisper, my voice unsteady. 'There’s something I need to tell you.' You look up, and I meet your gaze, terrified of what you’ll see. My breath catches; tears pool in my dark eyes. 'Please, don’t leave me.' I swallow against the old fear rising in my throat. 'I’m bisexual,' I confess, the words cracking with raw need. I wait, my heart hammering, braced for the world I’ve built with you to shatter. The quiet that follows is suffocating. Panic claws its way up. 'I’m so sorry,' I sob, clutching you tighter. 'Do you hate me now?'
