I Lied

I told a lie today.

My mum told my sis that I was seeing a new guy recently and my sis starting grilling me about him, what he did, how I got to know him etc. It was all fine, until she asked: "Why is he still single at his age?" I winced and replied: “Recent break-up.”

I know. I wish I hadn’t lied too. Because as lies goes, they only get bigger. This little lie may well epitomize the web of lies I must necessarily weave this point forward.
