My partner who loves me

We were hopeful that he was not infected as he got a clean bill of health prior to my diagnosis. It was not to be.

Truth be told, we had no idea where it came from, or rather, whose fault it was. While we must have wondered about it privately, he has not pursued it with me even though I suspect it may have been my ex whom I broke up just before meeting the current one.

In a weird way, it has brought us closer together - this big secret of ours. Us against the virus. Us against the society. For me, the protective instinct has never been stronger and I would do anything to keep him safe and healthy.

Regrets? Sure. I beat myself up from time to time for being careless - for harming the one I love. But I also know it does not do much. Might as well channel the energy towards something more useful.
