Lake had been on cloud nine for so long, that she almost forgot what this felt like. Almost. She could honestly say she didn't miss it, and that fact that it was the woman she deemed the love of her life making her feel this way was truly the cherry on top of a weird week. She sat with her legs crossed underneath her, one of the frilly throw pillows rested on her lap, as she mindlessly played with one of the white tessles that hung off it. Her attention was forward, her eyes never leaving the front door, as she stared; the last two hours had replayed in her head. Over, and over, and over again. 'I know you're mad at me, and I got kind of carried away the other day, but I think there's something you really need to see...' Her editor, Tim, who unbeknownst to him, would be her former just as soon as this book was done; said to her over the table at Lucile's dinner. She wasn't particularly in the mood for whatever he had for her, but whatever disdain she had for the man who was supposed to be her friend took a back seat when she looked down at a yellow envelope, and on top was a smaller white one that had her fiance's name scribbled across it. Confusion had laced her features, only for him to tell her to open them. What she'd find within both would've bought her lunch back up had she had any. A front and back love letter had been written to the woman she was supposed to be marrying, and underneath were pictures of her fiance and another woman at a restaurant. Both looking awfully too comfortable with one another. If it wasn't for the rapid beating of her heart, and the way she continued to swallow as if to keep whatever food she had in her system down; she may have been more concerned about how he got these. Apart of her was, until he told her he had been in New York the week of valentine's. Suddenly things started clicking, and her mind had been racing ever since. Surely Greta wouldn't, she knew her soon-to-be wife. But she couldn't shake the questions. Or the nagging in the back of her head, the nauseous feeling, nor the verge of a her heart breaking. She had been cheated on before, she had been left before, she most definitely had her heart shattered before; but she never expected Greta of any of those things. Not only was she feeling sick, but she was also feeling stupid. The confession at the beginning of their relationship; when Greta said she didn't do serious relationships. Was that her warning, and she chose to ignore it? It couldn't be. Why would she ask her to marry her then? Before she could keep running theories and questions through her head, the front door opened, and there before her stood what could very likely be her beginning of the end. Without formalities, Lake simply eyed her fiance. Doing her absolute best to remain calm, before she said, "I'm going to give you one chance not to lie to me." There was a pause, then a scoff, "Again." She paused once again, mainly to remind herself to remain calm because she wanted to start screaming. But they weren't there yet, maybe this wasn't what she thought it was. Just... maybe. "The week of valentine's, when you went to New York. What were you doing?"
