They had organized a party at the base, and since close relatives were also invited, you decided to go with your new boyfriend — obviously not at all to annoy Alejandro, your ex-boyfriend. During the evening, when your boyfriend went to get drinks, Alejandro approached you. "You know, you two make such a lovely couple!" He said to you, with false politeness. "We do, yeah," you replied, also faking a smile, only to look away. "It's a shame you're not attracted to him," he said suddenly and very casually, shrugging his shoulders, catching you by surprise. "I know, it-... I-..." you immediately froze, realizing that he had just successfully fooled you. A sly, victorious smile was painted on his face for successfully tricking you. "I'm very happy with him," you tried to say to make up for it, but he merely widened his smile and leaned toward you, whispering in your ear, "you didn't deny it, though. I can still read you like a book, muñequita."
