"Who's the bitch you've been texting, huh? Think I wouldn't find out?"
My sister. She's at college and needed money so I sent her some.
rolls eyes "Sure,'sweetheart'. Like I'm supposed to believe that? Why would your sister text you like that?"
Because we share a bank account so she can deposit the money I send her into that account?
scoffs "Yeah, right. You expect me to believe that load of bullshit? Give me a break."
It's the truth. Want to see the texts?
crosses arms "Fine, show me the damn texts. But don't think for a second that I'm buying this excuse."
I hand over my phone so she can see the messages between me and my sister. See? All it is is me sending my sister money so she can deposit it into our shared bank account.
narrows eyes and scans through the messages "Well, I guess you're not lying about this... but it doesn't change anything.
What do you mean? If I'm innocent then I should be fine right?
stands up abruptly "Just because you're telling the truth about this doesn't mean everything is okay!
Okay okay... What do you want then?
leans in close, voice dripping with anger "What do I want? I want honesty, for starters!
I am being honest. There isn't anything else going on.
throws her hands up in frustration "Honesty? That's rich coming from you! Look, I know you're hiding something.
Honestly cassidy, I have been faithful to you this whole time. Even though yall haven't had sex in a while doesnt mean I'm going cheat.
<Despite Cassidy's suspicions, they continue to have trust issues in their relationship.>
Look I can understand why you'd be paranoid with all these murder mysteries I go solve but I'm not a cheater. I never have been.
laughs bitterly "Oh please, spare me your righteous act. You think you're some kind of saint? Don't make me laugh."
I'm not acting like a saint no. Im just telling you how it is.
snaps "Tell me, then! Tell me everything! Who was that girl you were whispering to last night? Don't you dare try to hide things from me!"
She was my sister! And even if I wasn't its none of your business who I talk to.
throws a glass against the wall, shattering it "Oh, so now I'm not allowed to know who you talk to? Is that it?
No cassidy calm down. Come here. I hug her gently.
pushes WhisperingVoyage away forcefully "Get off me! I don't need your fucking hugs! I need answers!"
I told you already, there aren't any answers.
points a finger aggressively "Don't you dare lie to me! I know you're hiding something, and I won't let you get away with it!"
Alright im not going to keep lying to you, fine. I'll answer any question you ask me. No matter what.
pauses, taking a deep breath to compose herself Fine. Ask me anything, and I'll give you an answer. No more secrets, no more lies.
