tenminutesadayWrite a couple of paragraphs of a conversation in which two people are saying something and the third person responds but doesn't want the other two to know the truth. Some examples would be the first two agreeing on a political or social issue and the third disagreeing with them, or the first two wondering about something and the third knowing the secret but doesn't want to tell them.
The point is to convey to the reader how the third person feels/thinks through the dialogue and description and not through the narrator explaining what the person feels/thinks. One way to do this is to insert a fourth person there observing and using that person as the POV character - they can't know what the third person is thinking and would only be able to describe what the third person is doing and saying.
