I was a liar. That was the only thing that really stuck to me. I had made a name for myself being as such. A snake in cardboard. However, it was difficult now. I couldn’t keep putting on that face, the porcelain mask was cracking under pressure and it wasn’t going to stay for long. Everything to me was numb and I knew that between the two stags I cared about, I had hurt one and knew I needed to tell the other one the truth. To come clean. The idea of doing such was killing me inside, but it needed to be done no matter how much pain it caused. I would have rather had both creatures upset knowing the truth than to continue on a lie with the two of them.

But how was I supposed to tell this deep dark secret? It wasn’t going to be easy. I remembered the last time we saw each other, the beach illuminated Tembovu’s face in just the right ways. The slight hint of sadness hidden behind his own mask grew into happiness with the sight of me. Telling him what I told everyone else about my history, seeing his comforting movements and gentle words that made me feel so at home and comfortable with my lie. I couldn’t lie anymore, not to him.

I need him to see me for who I am.

My feet felt heavy as I made my way into the thistle meadow. The ground beneath me squishing lightly with the wet snowfall that landed in the heart of the grasses. My head lowered in a movement that wasn’t seen of me. I usually carried my head high, full of authority and experience, unafraid of anything that could come my way.

But I was terrified.

I hoped he was near, lifting my head lightly and calling out his name in the hopes that maybe, just maybe, he would have the same sinking feeling to greet me at the meadow. It was time to tell all. After the sound passed my lips I felt instant regret and almost felt the need to turn and run away from my problems and wait another day. However, I knew it wouldn’t help me at all. I knew it would just hurt more and more the longer I waited, I needed to tell him now.

the only line that’s true is the line you’re from.
