Pretty little lies.

Lily's POV

3 years ago- 10pm

I was out at the club, dancing away to the pulsating beat of the music, when I noticed him. He stood across the dimly lit room, his eyes locked onto mine. With a sly wink, he started making his way through the sea of people towards me. In that moment, I knew my night was about to take an unexpected turn.

I quickly turned to my friends and told them I'd catch up with them later. They exchanged knowing glances and, with playful nudges, made their way toward the exit. Alone now, I turned back to the mysterious stranger who had piqued my curiosity.

I approached him and asked, "What's your name?"

He smiled, his eyes gleaming with a hint of mischief. "Josh," he replied, the word rolling smoothly off his tongue.

My next question was more direct, a test of his availability. "Are you single?" I inquired, my gaze steady.

Josh leaned in closer, his warm breath brushing against my ear as he whispered, "Does it matter?"
