Lie to her

E: Why the fuck would I have sex with her? She’s twice my age.

H: You told me you thought she was hot.

E: And you think I’d fuck her just because she’s hot???

H: Maybe.

Raising his brow, Ethan wonders what backend conversation is going on. Hopefully, Layla is telling Heather the same thing, if she’s even being asked. Ethan also hopes she’ll leave out all the staring.

H: You can tell me if you did.

Ethan stares at the last message, warning bells in his head going off. Layla either said something, or this was a very ill-timed fishing expedition.
