I gasped for some air.

'No! she didn't,' I quarreled with my brain.

'Yes, baby girl, she did and all you have to do is answer her truthfully,' my mind let out.

I knew better than to speak the truth on this case, a little truth has never done harm to anyone's ego, so it wouldn't tamper with mine.

My silence was deafening especially as I had gasped, it clearly showed that I was there but didn't just want to answer.

Mrs. Larry's rich voice filled the speaker as she chuckled. It made me feel nervous the more.

"I guess that is a hard one," she let out.

"Yes, it is," I lamented.

She laughed again, then in a firm voice she asked once more,

"Do you love him, Megan?" she pressed harder.

I knew better than to tell her the truth, in a feeble but audible voice, I whispered,

"Yes, I love Nicholas so much,"

The next thing I heard was a dead line.
