I should tell Daniel that Charlotte knows that we're frauds, but I can't. If I do, he'll want to know how it happened and then he'll be angry with me. Even if he's not, we'll have to leave here and never come back, which is the right thing to do, if we can't trust her. But I do. I think she'll keep quiet, like she said she would. Of course, if I'm wrong, we're in trouble. I'd better not be wrong. I should put Daniel first. I know that. I owe him. I feel like a traitor even thinking of keeping this from him, but Charlotte loves me and no-one else does and if I have to spend my whole life alone, I want one memory of being loved by someone who didn't have to love me. Daniel would never understand and I can never explain, so I just hope Charlotte isn't lying to me.
