Caleb laughs a little at that mental image, and suddenly, talking to Michael is easy again.
"No, I mean. I can do the dumb, little lies. Like, saying I'm okay, when I'm not, or something. But doing what you did out there, those were big lies, with, like, really tenuous root systems in little truths. Ugh, does this make sense? Like, you probably could've been into her, if you weren't with Alex. But I don't think you totally liked her personality, and that would've made it really superficial? So, a little truth. But the things you were saying, I mean, I couldn't hear them, but they were mostly lies. You didn't mean them. Those are the ones I don't think I could do."
Adam's always said that Caleb's a terrible liar, too, and maybe that's because of his ability, or maybe that's just the way he is.
