He didn’t wish to clarify his household historical past each time he began a brand new relationship. So his secrets and techniques adopted him, whilst he obtained married.
A few years later, Khalid was interviewing for a job within the U.S. authorities, and he was required to take a polygraph check. The examiner requested him a query he couldn’t keep away from: “Have you ever ever saved a secret out of your spouse?”
