“So you're always honest," I said.
"Aren't you?" "No," I told him.
"I'm not." "Well, that's good to know, I
guess." "I'm not saying I'm a liar," I
told him. He raised his eyebrows. "That's not how I
meant it, anyways." "How'd you mean it, then?"
"I just...I don't always say what I feel."
"Why not?" "Because the truth sometimes
hurts," I said. "Yeah," he said. "So do lies,
though.”
