I scoop out a cup full of sugar before glancing around real quick to make sure no one's snuck in when I wasn't paying attention. Not that anyone who works at Semele's doesn't know, but just in case.

"I was wonderin' how you would feel if I told Jack, uhm... what you are," I say, focusing intently as I mix the flour and sugar and then reach for the baking soda. "I know you don't like everyone knowin' and I totally respect that. If you don't want me to tell him, I won't. And I won't just blab it at him if it's not relevant, but I'm just. I guess I just wanna see if it'd be okay with you if I did."
