They think I don't know.

I've seen the looks. Heard the careful phrasing.

I've smiled and thanked them for their efforts in trying to help me.

They think I don't know.

I've seen them spring apart, guilty looks written all over their faces.

I've heard the tenseness in their voices when discussing redacted files.

They think I don't know.

I tell myself that it's okay. That they'll tell me in their time.

That they'll reveal all and it will end in a big family hug.

But what they don't know is that I'm running out of time.
