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.

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.
