"I don't know why it matters. Maybe it doesn't," John replied, staring at his feet. "And I'm not looking for your forgiveness, not yet...I mean, I get it...you have every right to be pissed at me. And right now I'm regretting telling you, but I feel like the only way we can move forward is to get rid of whatever tension we have between us."
"Being honest with you was a way for me to get rid of the source of my tension, because now I don't have to constantly worry about you figuring it out somehow." He sighed deeply, deciding it was time to get that coffee. "I should probably go. Have a good time with your family, Adam." He turned to head into the bakery, but shot one last glance at Adam over his shoulder.
