*********************************************************************
When did we first start lying to each other? That isn't hard to figure out.
The day we met I hid my pain at her resemblance to Diane. She hid her dislike of me.
She hated me in the beginning. She didn't trust me. I sandbagged her that first time in court... lawyer's trick. All right, it was a cheap lawyer's trick. I won. And, I lost.
We've been erecting layers of pain and deceit for seven years. Now, add another layer.
I truly never expected to lose her to Clay.
Just friends? I lied again.
They say your life flashes in front of you before you die. This damn plane's going down now. There's not a thing I can do to stop it and we're probably both going to die. My life is flashing in front of me. I'm so sorry it took me too long to figure out that my life is Mac.
