'Are you sure she will buy that?' Chris asked taking a sip from his coffee cup.
'No way in heaven she is going to believe it but since you won't come clean we have no choice but to avoid meeting her and throw silly excuses like this' Ed replied looking at his friend.
Ed wanted to make Chris understand that it was ok for him to tell Hazel the truth but he couldn't understand why Chris hesitated.
'I know that… but I am afraid on how she will react when I tell her everything. Will she hate me for the rest of our lives?' Chris asked with a frightened look on his face.
'Come on dude, you didn't do a crime. Your circumstances were like that as far as I know Hazel, she will understand' Ed said trying to talk some sense into him.
