My hand was still in his. And my real boyfriend was staring at it like it had personally betrayed him. Interesting. I slowly tightened my fingers around my fake boyfriend’s hand. His eyes snapped toward me. A clear warning. What are you doing? I smiled. Having fun. At least, I hoped my face communicated that. My real boyfriend leaned forward. “You two have gotten pretty close.” There it was again. That irritated tone. I tilted my head. “Is that bad?” “No. I just mean… it’s fast.” “Fast?” I looked at my fake boyfriend. “How long did you say we’ve been dating?” His expression immediately became miserable. “Six months.” “Exactly.” I turned back. “Six months isn’t fast.” My real boyfriend opened his mouth. Then closed it. Trapped by his own lie. Again. I loved this
