I realize I've arrived in the parking lot when I see the familiar black car parked there. Thomas is leaning against the door with his usual unfriendly face typing something on his cell phone. " He… didn't he?" “Dad is confused on the other end of the line, and I am even more so. - I do not speak. I think my voice attracts Thomas's attention because he looks my way. The scowl is still there on his handsome face, but he puts his phone away and crosses his arms over his chest, waiting for me. I start walking towards him. — So… It was a lie. I knew it was a lie, ” Dad says, sounding relieved. " That was low even for him!" If you only knew how worried I was, Cristal. You don't know how relieved I am that it's a lie. — I don't understand anything, father. What was a lie? Thomas looks at me
