"Have you heard the news about Cadogan Cleary? Worrying, isn't it?" Rita asked, turning to her lover. The little-known explorer had been incapacitated in St Mungo's for years, but had recently begun showing signs of improvement.

"Who's he? Don't know what you're talking about," Gilderoy replied, quick to defend and deflect.

"Gil, you're doing it again," she said, her voice high with a hint of annoyance, referencing his now automatic response to tell treacherous lies. It had really started to grate on her these past few weeks, and she found herself wondering if she could trust a word he said.

"Sorry, it's a habit," he replied with a sheepish grin.

"More like an addiction," she argued.
