"How come you never tell me anything about you and Gavin?" Adrienne questioned her best friend as she put the dirty dishes in the dishwasher after giving them a quick rinse in the sink.
Myrtle's face flushed, and she looked away. "Did he tell you?"
Adrienne shook her head. "No. It was Lennox who told me. Gavin told him about it."
She supposed Lennox asked his best friend about it as Adrienne couldn't give him a definite answer as to what Gavin's relationship was to Myrtle.
Her best friend remained silent momentarily as if Myrtle were trying to find the right words to explain her relationship with Lennox's right-hand man.
Finally, Myrtle sighed and said, "I guess I've hesitated to share because it's complicated. Gavin and I have been seeing each other on and off for the past few months, but we're not officially together. We both have our own reasons for keeping it low-key."
