"Gloriana may be capricious, but I don't think she's dumb." Ves stated to Gavin the next day.
Ves believed that Gloriana hadn't been entirely forthcoming in their earlier conversation. As a habitual liar himself, he recognized when someone was acting in a self-serving manner.
His girlfriend possessed another motive. Ves was sure of it. The feelings he sensed from her did not entirely match her facade.
For his part, Gavin partially agreed. "Prominent Hexers such as Gloriana are certainly aware of what they should or should not publicize. The Wodin Dynasty has an image to maintain. In their circles, I imagine that it's a big taboo to air dirty laundry on the galactic net."
"Then why did she go through with this idiotic act?"
