“Stop lying to me,” she said. “Where were you?”
Nate told her: “My phone was smashed so I couldn’t get a taxi and then this girl said I could use hers.
“Just this girl in a bar. She said I could use her landline but I collapsed on her sofa as soon as I got to her place.
“I swear to you nothing happened. I haven’t done anything Tracy.
“Nothing happened, you’ve got to believe me.”
But Tracy didn’t believe him – mainly because he had lied to her all day.
“You have been lying to me all day,” she said.
“And then you’ve brought me here to butter me up and lie to me some more when you knew the whole time you stayed at a girl’s house.
“And now you’re asking Ellis to cover for you.
“You can kip in a pig pen for all I care – as long as it’s away from me.”
