"She said you were fine. But she also said you've been 'quiet lately.' Which is mom-code for 'please tell me everything.' So now I'm invested in two dramas: your original one, and the mystery of 'dramahd me.'"

Lena groaned, rubbed the sleep from her eyes, and realized she had three choices: explain the typo, apologize, and move on. Or… double down.
"That is the most beautiful lie I've ever heard. Tell me the real drama or I'm coming to your apartment with coffee and a PowerPoint presentation on why you're insane."
