Look Jean.... I would love to keep it from him for as long as I can, but you know somebody is going to ruin that eventually. You know I'm on your side for this... I just... I worry about how this will mess with Marco. We can't just force everyone to keep their mouths shut no matter how much we try. We can try to get them to go along with it, but how long will that last?

You haven't exactly acted naturally around him lately.... If you really want him to stop suspecting something is wrong, you need to stop letting him see your hurt feelings. I know it's hard and I'm here for you, but if you really want this to work, you have to try the best you can to hide that. If you have to you can vent to me in the meantime.

I don't care. I just worry about Marco's and your well being.
