The Secret I Keep Quietly...

I'm 54 years old, teaching college students for over twenty-five years now. This past summer, one of my younger colleagues and I started something that felt very new to me... we're both single and see each other occasionally after work or during breaks in the schedule, when no one else is around. We meet at a local pub near campus for drinks or just chat quietly without drawing too much attention. It's never gone beyond hugs or a few kisses, mostly just us enjoying being together like this. I know it's not exactly faithful to either of our lifestyles, but honestly? It feels too good and exciting to let go now.
