"Oh, bollocks," I say aloud, when my phone starts buzzing with an incoming phone call from Faith.
"You okay?" Harry calls out from the sofa, pausing the programme he was watching.
"Faith's calling me," I tell him, and he understands because he stops talking, allowing me to call her without worrying about him.
I swipe to accept, Faith's inquisitive face immediately popping up on my phone.
"You're keeping a secret from me, aren't you?" She asks immediately, before I even have a chance to say hello.
"Good morning to you too. You know, you look really beautiful tod -" I start.
"Stop with the flattery, I already know I look beautiful. Do I need to come over to yours and squeeze the information out of you?" She asks, and of course she knows.
I'd barely updated her on my life in the last couple of weeks. Every time I did, I became overwhelmed with the guilt of not telling her about Harry and I.
"Squeeze me? Sounds torturous, count me out," I say lightly, desperately trying to avoid looking at Harry and giving everything away.
"Mackenzie Croft, you are an awful liar. What've you done? Is it bad?" She continues to ask.
Technically, I'm not an awful liar. No one knows about Harry.
"Even Ethan reckons you've been acting weird recently. And you know how oblivious that man is."
"Oi!" sounds out from the background of Faith's volume, bringing a small smile to my lips, because I too, have a man behind the camera.
"I haven't been acting weird. Maybe it's your fiancé who's acting weird," I shrug, setting my phone up against the wall as I continue to eat my breakfast.
"I still think you're hiding something from me. What if I banish Ethan from the living room? Then he won't hear it," she tells me, immediately telling Ethan to get lost, filming him as he goes. "See? Just us now! Spill."
Instead, I dig myself an even deeper hole, by telling her another secret that I really wasn't supposed to be telling anyone - except Harry, because of course he already knew.
"I'm on track to release an album by August," I tell her, and it actually feels good to be telling someone, even if Blue Horizons had told me I wasn't allowed to tell anyone.
