His Secret
Bobby wanted Cheryl to know about the past. However, he knew that he “just couldn’t risk it.” On top of that, it felt like his old life was completely behind him. He also said that his wife was a “righteous woman” who would have encouraged him to give himself up to the authorities.
Strongly Mistaken
He continued to contact the family members he had in North Carolina. However, he told his sister to only let Cheryl know about his secret after he has passed away. His sister told him that the right thing to do was to come clean. “That part of my life was buried back in North Carolina. And it wasn’t coming back,” he explained. However, he would eventually found out that this was not right.
