“The entire town is going to think we’re dating once word catches. Do you know how humiliating this is going to be for me when Bradley finds out that it was just a lie? He’ll think I’m even more pathetic for pretending to have a boyfriend. I’m sure, given the size of his ego, he’ll assume it’s because I still have feelings for him, Wells! Jesus, this is so embarrassing. Even seeing him today was horrifying, and this just makes it even worse.”
