I suddenly laughed, "John, sometimes people lie so much they start to believe it themselves. Do you know when I completely deleted Emily from my contacts? It was the day you didn’t come home, and she posted on ins the next day. In the corner of one of her photos, there was something left behind after your dating. I wanted to leave us both with some dignity, and I’m willing to make way for you two. What more do you want?"
John was stunned.
He looked at me and suddenly softened, "Anna, it only happened once, I swear. That day, you wouldn't go out with me. I was so upset that I crossed a line with Emily. When I realized it wasn't you, we stopped immediately. Anna, I know I was wrong, but I'll change."
"It's too late, John. I don't care anymore."
