"So, what? What are you saying? 'Like we were before' -- what before? We never got a chance to find out. There wasn't any time, before..."
Unwilling tears prick at the corners of her eyes, but she blinks them away, refusing to be the fragile little girl this time.
"I don't want the lie any more than you do. I think we both know that. I think we've known that for longer than either of us cares to admit. But I don't think that's all your're saying, is it?"
