"Charlie,
I hope this letter finds you well. There's something I've been meaning to tell you - something that's been weighing on my mind for quite some time now.
You see, there's a secret I've kept hidden from you all these years. It wasn't an easy decision to make, but at the time, it felt like the right thing to do. Now, I'm not so sure.
Please forgive me for what I'm about to tell you..."
Your heart sinks as you continue reading.
