Would it be a secret that would tear them apart?or bring them closer together?

Excerpt:
The glider swayed gently as they sat side by side. When Justin stretched his arm along the glider's back Grace didn't think much of it. She continued to gaze at the pyramids without blinking, caught in a reverie that included thoughts of pharaohs, princesses and love.
Justin placed his hand on her shoulder and gave it a squeeze. "You seem lost in thought, Grace. Anything you'd care to share with me?"
Grace waved a hand in the air between them, as if fanning away an unpleasant odor. "Oh, no--it was nothing. Not really. I was just looking out at them," she said, nodding toward the pyramids. "So big, so solid ... and eternal, it seems. I can't wait to see them up close. And to ride a camel--I know it sounds ridiculous but I've always wanted to ride a camel. I'm going to do it while I'm here in Egypt. It's one of those 'to do' things on my life's master to do list."
Chuckling, Justin shook his head. "Me, too," he said, shrugging. "It's been on my list, too."
"Really? You're not just humoring me, are you?" she asked.
"No, it's true. Perhaps we have the same sort of to do lists--might be worthwhile to compare them some time," he said, smiling. He pulled her closer to his body, squeezing her shoulder again.
"Perhaps," Grace agreed.
"So, what do you say, Grace? Shall we put check marks beside the line that says ride a camel? Shall we try it tomorrow?"
"I'd like that," said Grace. Warmth spread through her body as she turned to Justin and smiled. "I'd like that very much."
