The news of the lie had come from a simple Google search, and now, it was like the world had changed. Liam, the “renowned chef,” was a dishwasher. Across the room, at the party, he was holding court, charming everyone with his fabricated stories.

She had to force herself to take a bite of the hors d'oeuvres. They were stale. The music blared, the room was overly warm. She found a seat on a sofa. The plush cushions did little to alleviate her malaise. Her eyes were unfocused, her thoughts a jumble.

The party continued around her. She watched the guests dance, laugh, and listen to the lies. The evening stretched before her, an endless expanse. She just wanted to go home.
