What could be more normal than celebrating a successful exam? I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. A chance to make a fresh start. I've compartmentalized my past behind multiple fortified barriers. Painful secrets that have no place here with the only two friends I have. I'm going on vacation for the first time in my life.
