Holly knew the lie still hurt. She just didn`t let it show to Artemis, even when he already knew.
"Holly, you do know I`m truly sorry for lying to you?" Artemis asked, pretending to have his attention on the book in his hands. His face was etched with worry.
Holly faked a smile. Don`t you think I already understand that, Fowl, she thought. I just don`t believe you. "Of course I know. It`s in the past," she replied. Look who`s lying now.
Artemis looked over from his book to her. The tension between them increased. The lie from the past was making everything worse; they just refused to realize that.
"Is it really now?" Artemis enquired. Captain, I know those are lies.
"Yes, as long as there are no more lies," Holly said, in fake optimism. She could almost grimace at the cheerfulness in her voice. A shiver went up her spine as she realized what they were doing it. It didn`t take a genius to figure it out.
"Hmm, it is all in the past, of course," Artemis droned, "but I suppose you are still mad at me though. I did hurt you rather bad."
Holly smiled and let a false laugh escape her. "Like I said—it`s all in the past. I am not mad at you anymore." She was surprised on how she could lie so easily yet not feel even a bit of guilt. Perhaps she was spending too much time with Artemis.
Artemis nodded and returned back to his book as he pretended to read while actually wondering over how the lies could be tossed around so casually. Holly stared down at the ground. Was it not so obvious?
The lying between them was just a cover-up on the lie of the past. Artemis and Holly were frightened on what would happen if there was actually truth, even Artemis Fowl. Once there is a fib, it shall spread like wild fire until truth is too strange for anyone to understand.

Hmm, I suppose I was rather over-dramatic with this.
