Th sun was setting over the quiet town, painting the sky with shades of pink and gold,Anna walked along the dusty road,her hair dancing in the evening breeze.Everyone in the town known her for her beauty,was was kind that made people stare, but it wasn't just here face.What made Anna truly unforgettable was her heart,she was gentle, trusting and always quick to forgive.
When she met Ben,her heart opened like a flower spring,he wasn't just handsome;he had the kind charm that made her feel safe,he called her in the mornings just to hear hear her sleepy voice and teased her until she laughed.At night,he whispered promises that made her cheeks warm.
Anna believed him,she believed every word.
But one thing trouble her.
Whenever they walked together and one of Ben's friends appeared,he would suddenly drop her hand.At gathering,he never introduced her as his girlfriend -only a friend.
One evening, unable hold the question any longer,Anna asked him "Ben - why don't you want people to know about us" Ben looked at her for a moment,then forced a smile "it's not the right time yet.My friends -- they like to gossip.i just want to protect what we have"
His words southed her heart,but only for a while,deep inside.Anna longed for a love she didn't have to hide.stil, when Ben wrapped his arm around her, when he whispered"your are everything" she silenced the doubts.
For now she chose to believe him.
But in the quiet corners of her heart a question whispered over and over.
If he truly loves me,why does he keep me a sercet.
