William Guillen raised his hand, his fingertips gently touching the tip of Fluffy Zane's ear, which had flushed red because she was lying.
He caressed it softly, a smile on his lips as his voice grew deeper, "Fluffy, tell me the truth."
"I don't know what you're talking about."
Fluffy Zane pushed him away and stood up, intending to leave.
William Guillen grabbed her wrist and pulled her back. A teasing smile touched his lips, his gaze sharp enough to see right through her. "Fluffy, you're avoiding me."
"I'm not."
"Then tell me, what's your relationship with Sophie Sullivan?"
"Listen, Guillen Junior. I only just learned from you that the maniac's name is Sophie Sullivan. You're asking about my relationship with her? It's likely just that she offered me a simple word of comfort on the Meadow back then, and that's how we became acquainted."
As Fluffy Zane spoke, her heart pounded wildly. She really wasn't very good at lying.
