I Am Sorry About My Terrible Acting

Laney barely managed to bite back a curse. Of course Greg would see through her once Lissy got involved. He was her oldest friend, after all. 

She really couldn't tell him the truth. She had to come up with some sort of defense here. 

"I told you, she's been fussy lately. She's having a hard time adjusting to a bunch of life changes at once. Richard doesn't treat me badly! He's very conscientious of my well-being. I swear."

"Then Lissy doesn't see him enough to like him. Olivia and I not seeing him much is one thing but your sister? Who you see every day? What kind of person is too busy to be involved in his wife's life enough for that?" Greg demanded. 

Laney rubbed her forehead. This conversation was giving her a headache. 

"Greg, Richard has two jobs. He's always been busy. This isn't anything new. I still see him every day. Just because he doesn't come with me to see Lissy all the time doesn't mean he's neglecting me."
