“You think I’d walk away?” she asked, steady but stunned. “After everything?”
He looked down, then back up, eyes full of conflict. “It’s not just about secrets. It’s about what those secrets mean. What they change”
This is so rough to read (i a good way) because knowing both of their perspectives, I know that they both definitely have good reasons for doing what they're doing.

Such a cute wrap-up!
This was such an adventure!
