i'll keep your secret (till death do we part)

Todd put his head in his hands and tried not to have a breakdown. He’d been working on it--breathing more, in patterns, focusing on things that calmed him, or one singular thing he could latch onto in the world around him--but it seemed to be escaping him. It was out of his reach, and the rain only seemed to drag him down further, hooking onto him with every droplet that fell, even though he was inside the car.~After Welton, and after college, Todd seeks refuge far from everything he's known, which leads him into something completely different and completely welcome. Suddenly, the past kicks out his legs from under him, and the safety he's built around him comes crumbling down.
