Never Lie

by Freida McFadden

I will know the truth. I always know.

Except for the one big secret he doesn’t know about yet.

If a real estate agent were showing a house, wouldn’t she turn the lights on downstairs?

I’m loving this honeymoon phase of our marriage.

“And the asking price is so low.

“Honestly,” she says, “you should think about getting some sort of security system for this place. I don’t want to come here one day and find you murdered in the living room.”

I have many, many years left in my career.

Lol

I’m impressed he figured it out, having never been here before.

Ethan doesn’t seem at all upset about it. Shouldn’t he be upset?

Is Ethan EJ???

“I’m not sure if you heard, but my parents were in a terrible car wreck last month. They didn’t survive.” He pulls an exaggerated sad face. “And I’m their only heir, so… you know.”

Ethan doesn't talk about how his parents died... Hmmmmm

“Don’t listen to any more tapes,” he says in a voice that doesn’t sound like the man I married. “Promise me you won’t.”

“Goodbye, Edward,” I say.

Wasn't expecting that

We especially had a reason to keep her out of the garden.

Both of us will take that secret to our graves.

"Two can keep a secret if one is dead"

After all, my mother always said that the only way two people can keep a secret is if one of them is dead.
