Yes, I'm scared. Actually, I'm terrified.
But I had to do
this. It's not right, having to keep half my life a secret every day. I should own who I am, and I should be able to tell Jack that I love him without being afraid of who might hear.
I don't want to live my life in fear anymore. Not of my past, not of my ex-boyfriend, not of my boss's boss. I want to get up in the morning without a weight on my shoulders. And if that means you and I have to take some big risks, I think that it's worth it. I think Jack and his mun would appreciate it, too.
Who knows? Maybe this will go badly and I'll get suspended and everyone in the hospital will look twice at me from now on. But it could also go really well, and I could have a boyfriend I love, a job I enjoy, and a team in my life that I finally don't have to keep secrets from. That means more to me than anything.
I'm going to sit here in this corner of your head and be scared out of my mind today. But tomorrow, I'm going into Nora's office and I'm not hiding anymore, and if you can't keep up then that's your problem.
[Pause.]By the way? The Transporter thing? Kinda cool. Maybe we'll see that guy again and I can ask him what's up with his face.
