i didn't tell her ivy wolfe seth gamble

The weight of the secret, heavy and cold, settled in Seth Gambles gut. He hadnt meant to keep it from Ivy Wolfe, not really. It just...happened. Like a domino effect, one small lie spiraling into a web of deceit. It started with a small omission, a white lie to protect someone he cared about. But then, the lies grew, each one more elaborate than the last, until he was trapped in a labyrinth of his own making.He watched Ivy across the crowded room, her laughter ringing like wind chimes, her eyes sparkling with an innocent joy that stabbed at his heart. She was so trusting, so open, and he was drowning in a sea of guilt, his silence a suffocating shroud. He knew he had to tell her, confess his sin, but the words seemed to stick in his throat, heavy and unwieldy.The thought of her reaction, the hurt in her eyes, the betrayal she would feel, was unbearable. But the truth, however painful, was the only way out of this tangled mess. He had to find the courage to face her, to bare his soul and beg for her forgiveness. It was the only way to reclaim the trust he had shattered, the only way to mend the fragile bond they shared. The room seemed to shrink around him, the laughter and chatter a distant hum. He felt alone, exposed, the weight of his deception pressing down on him. He knew he couldnt hide from the truth forever, not with Ivy. She deserved to know, even if it meant losing her. The truth, he realized, was the only way to truly be free.
