"So you came to see if the girl you thought she was is who she really is, right?" He nodded. "I don't know for sure, but I can tell you that she is a terrible liar. She can't even lie about eating the last piece of chocolate. I am sure she would have slipped up."
'That would be a relief.'
"She didn't tell you, though," he said slowly, not wanting to anger her.
"Recently she has been a lot happier than she was before and I thought it was because she was finally ready to date. That's why I set up a surprise date with her and Nathaniel. I thought she was secretly seeing someone and didn't want to pry until she told me herself. But I was too preoccupied to see for myself what was happening. Lily knew everything, but I didn't. It hurt…" She grimaced. "Apparently she was ready to date, but only you."
"But she went out on a date with someone else and she didn't even bother telling everyone about me."
