After dropping off Henry, Malo drove home. We were debating if we should inform Princess about what we saw at the shop, but we ended up agreeing not to tell unless the question is brought up, because Pali said no one in town should be aware, especially the GPF, because it was their duty to protect the town. I leaned my elbow against the passenger window, watching the streetlights blur past while Malo kept his eyes glued to the road ahead. We both knew how fast things could get messy if the wrong person found out she was hiding right under our noses.
So as long as Dre doesn't cause any harm, no one will find out about her whereabouts, which I already know because I have been to Ms Martha's house. I tapped my fingers restlessly against my knee, remembering the quiet woman and the small frame. It was a massive secret to keep, but as long as she stayed quiet and just focused on her wife, there was no reason to start a war.
