Capítulo 99: Both Liars

"You're trying to turn this on me when I have been very transparent with you. How are you any different from my cheating ex?"

Their conversation was a sad ball of accusations thrown at one another, fuelled by their anger and hurt. Neither considered the destruction they were causing the other, both having bad experiences in the past, they couldn't see past those. What were they to do? They were just products of their experiences, experiences which had made them prone to misunderstandings and distrust.

"Oh, so he was real?" he said harshly.

"I'd never cheat on you," she mimicked. "Wasn't that what you said? What happened to that?" He could hear her gulp.

"Let's settle this then. We are both liars."

None of this was real. Their relationship, their connection, nothing. It was all shrouded by the screen. Who knew what the other had lied about. Cage knew that he had hidden a lot. How could he trust her to not do the same.
