Keep 'em coming

Hi there! About this gig on the 27th...

Yeah, 27th-30th in Dubai. That's all the info I have at the moment. And the inevitable...So, I called you last Friday...

Right, I was with Kevin. We got in late, I'm sorry 'bout that. It wasn't very nice of me.

You think?

Don't worry about it. I'm used to it.

You make it sound like I'm in trouble.

No, it's true. You have been known to be mean to me sometimes. And it's fine..so, about the gig...

One lie after the other. Lily did the right thing. Let's see how he likes the new temperature.
