Chapter 83 To lie or not

• I saw Dave, but we didn't speak much and we didn't have dinner together. I always said hello when I saw him. And once, when no one was looking, I blew him a kiss. He smiled. I was still convinced he loved me, but he saw himself as straight. He had a picture of his girlfriend next to his bed. Did he look at that picture and feel guilt for what we'd done? I understood guilt, I really did. I'd been raised on it, in the pack. He knew he was going to regret what we did, and he was right. I figured he would get over it and I just hoped it didn't take too long. But he wasn't angry at me and I was happy to give him his space. After all, I had Keith, at least part-time. And when Keith was around, I was happy.
• Keith spent most evenings with Amber, but he spent some with me. A lot of times he and I went out. He would take me to different places around town that he liked. Many of them were places he discovered with Amber. Others were places he'd heard about. I saw Dave with a girl at a restaurant. I'd seen her in the dining hall at our dorm, but I didn't know she was seeing Dave. I waved at him and walked over to say hello. He introduced me to his date, Belle.
• "Hey! That's a pretty name," I said.
