Tom watched as the surprised expression on Lucy's face shifted into disbelief and then amusement as she raised a hand to her mouth to muffle her laughter, "You almost got me for a moment," she said, hitting his shoulder playfully with her other hand.
Tom grabbed her hand on his shoulder as he gazed into her eyes, "I'm serious, Lu. I don't want to have to lie to you about this too."
Lucy's brows pulled together in a confused frown, "Too? You've lied to be about something else?"
Tom sighed as he let go of her hands, "Yes. And I'm not going to tell you the truth yet either. I'm just trying not to tell you too many lies, that way when I finally tell you the truth you won't be too mad at me hopefully," Tom said still looking into her eyes.
