"I didn't. I was just pretending to make others think 'oh, she's crying for her mate,'" she was such a terrible liar.
"In fact, I was like 'maybe this arrest will make him decent,'" she added with an eye roll, somehow really starting to get under my skin.
"So you didn't care? Then why did you—hug me?" I asked, my eyes narrowing at her. If only she were smarter, she'd notice the look on my face.
