Bonnie

Two months

I've been in New York for two months now.

The apartment is starting to feel like home. I'm settling into a routine. Work has come through—my ex's firm is offering me a consulting position starting in November.

Everything is falling into place. Except the most important thing.

I still haven't told Mario the truth. I'm still pretending Bonnie exists.

When will I actually be brave enough to stop lying?

Probably never.

    Courage isn't the absence of fear. It's acting in spite of fear. You're choosing comfort over honesty.
