Lingering Doubts

"I once called him up from here, and a woman picked up his phone," Sari replied, revealing it for the first time.

"Okay, so?" Sayuri asked.

"It was early morning at that time! And she said Kyle was still sleeping!"

"Okay. Again, so?" Sayuri asked, her face in a frown, "What has that got to do with Kyle lying or cheating on you?"

"Why else would a woman be in his apartment so early in the morning? While he was sleeping?"

"Er, duh?" Sayuri replied while rolling her eyes, "There are SO many reasons. You only thought of one and decided it was THE reason? Did you ever ask him about it?"

"No, don't answer that. You didn't," Sayuri said, "And if you did, would you have believed him?"

Sari opened her mouth to say 'yes, she would' when Sayuri put up her hand with a cynical smile.

"You would? Really? If he had told you why that woman was there, you would have thought he was lying to cover it up, right?" Sayuri demanded.
