Disclaimer: I don't own the Lying Games or any of its characters.
Author's Note: I know there's not any specific category for the Lying Game yet, but I really wanted to post this as soon as possible. I know it's kind or sort, but hopefully the next chapters will be longer. Anyway, this takes place during the pilot episode, so it might not match up with the rest of the season. Let me know what you think!
A twin.
Ethan almost laughed out loud at the ridiculousness of it all.
Of course Sutton had a twin.
He glanced over at Emma, who seemed just as lost in her own thoughts. "Did Sutton ever say where she was staying?"
"No." She frowned, and Ethan couldn't help but notice how her nose scrunched up just like Sutton's did whenever she tried to solve a really complicated math problem. "All she told me was that she was going to Los Angeles, and that she'd be back in two days."
"Maybe she found something on your birth parents," Ethan suggested, trying to sound optimistic, "Or maybe there just weren't any buses available; Sutton wasn't always the best planner."
Emma let out a short laugh. "Tell me about it." She sighed and looked out at the dark, barren desert. "I guess I'd better get back to Sutton's house before anyone starts to worry."
Ethan nodded, his face unreadable in the dim moonlight. "Good idea." He hesitated for a moment. "Look, if you need help with anything, my number's in Sutton's phone-just give me a call."
"Thanks," Emma said. A brief but genuine smile flashed across her face, before she turned and disappeared into the night.
Ethan watched as Emma skillfully guided Sutton's car out of the cabin's dirt pathway until she was nothing more than a tiny speck in the distance. He shook his head thoughtfully, and looked up at the starry sky.
"What are you up to, Sutton?"
