Page 91 of The Lies We Play

Halston: We are not forcing a shape before it is ready.

Liv: That sounds like a legal answer.

Halston: It is a careful answer.

Liv: I hate careful answers.

Halston: No, you hate dishonest ones.

Liv: Also true.

Halston: Liv.

Liv: What?

Halston: When you are at his apartment, and you think of me, I don't want you to feel guilty.

Liv: And when I’m with you and think of him?

Halston: I would be concerned if you didn’t. Just as I know you understand that when we are with you, Creed and I are thinking of each other too. That is not disloyalty. That is the first honest law of us: no one is loved away from the others. We only ever love each other closer.

Liv: That sounds dangerous.

Halston: It is.

Liv: Halston. What are we doing?

Halston: Letting it become real slowly enough that none of us has to run.

Liv: Letting what become real?

Halston: Us.

Liv: Oh.

Halston: Yes.

Liv: We are in so much trouble.

Halston: No.

Liv: No?

Halston: Trouble was pretending this was separate. We are finally telling the truth.

Creed: Home game Saturday. You coming up?

Halston: I have a Corporations final Monday.

Creed: Yes or no, Saint Claire.

Halston: I can’t go to the arena. We’ll watch it at my place.

Creed: Sounds sensible.

Halston: Though Liv would prefer if we did it from your place. She said your kitchen table has good light.

Creed: She’ll know, she's been studying there.
