Lillian's Threat

Lillian's eyes widened in shock, confirming Hannah's theory. She pounced on Lillian, demanding details.

"You are!" she hissed. "You're living with a guy! Oh my god, I can't believe this! I knew it. You were being way too secretive!"

"Shhhh!" Lillian begged. "I can't say."

"But I need details!" Hannah squealed. "Is he hot? Cute? How long have you guys been dating?"

Lillian was now in a fix. She bit her lip, conflicted over how much to reveal. Thinking hard, she decided to omit out the marriage part and lie as much as possible. Hannah was a good friend but what if she spilled the truth to someone else?

"I am living with a guy," she admitted. "But I can't tell who it is."

"Is he a celebrity?"

I wish, Lillian winced inwardly. "Sort of," she admitted. "His...his parents are rich and he lives away from them. We've been dating in secret for a year."
