"I hated that dress."
No. Lise loved that dress. She loved how the dress complimented her skin tone and how it fit on her body perfectly. She had waited for that dinner party ever since her father told her about it. She even had her sister help her with her makeup. That was the first party that she attended with her family.
On the other hand, Gael chuckled when he heard that, since he knew the truth.
"You loved it, I heard you say it to your sister." Gael overheard her excited claims when Lise told her sister about her dress and how good she felt that night. He remembered how excited her voice was and how lively she looked at that time.
Meanwhile, hearing Gael pointing out her lie, Lise only smiled softly. But then, she felt drowsy. She closed her eyes. The light was too bright for her, but she loved the warmth that it brought.
There was another beat of silence that engulfed them. This morning was so serene and beautiful.
