Quote #10
Actually, he was in agony. He desperately wanted to share his predicament with Amy – he wanted to share his entire life with her – but his father had sworn him to secrecy. It's life and death, Adam, his father had said. (26.40)
Adam's dad places a big burden on him by telling him all of this heavy news and then requiring him not to tell anyone. Imagine the agony of having such a big secret and not being able to tell your best friend.
