Acting on a Whim(3)

"A-act as your boyfriend? Are you…serious?"

"Of course I am! Why wouldn't I be?"

Hearing Keren's reply which was given in a straight forward tone, Luke realized that she wasn't joking.

He had known that this woman was…different, but he could never have expected that she would come up with such a crazy idea.

As if to sell the idea further, Keren started walking forward slowly towards Luke, while looking straight into his eyes.

"Think about it! It would become completely clear to her that you've gotten over your feelings for her! She will definitely tell you all about what's going on with my brother, and she might even invite us on double dates! Besides, I'm not even saying that we need to do it for a long time. After you see that everything's back to normal between you two, we can stop acting, and say that we broke up for some reason! Unless you wouldn't want to."

That last part was said in a whisper, so Luke didn't catch it properly.
