But there had been secrets in the relationship, obviously…
““But there had been secrets in the relationship, obviously, since she hadn't told him the truth about why she'd needed him to leave early the previous night. Unless he had known and was lying about that… Don't borrow trouble, goddammit. He doesn't know you've lost your memory. So he isn't lying. About that, anyway. But something else is going on here. Because apparently you didn't tell him the truth about why you asked him to leave early, and you don't know why you failed to do that. Then again, perhaps she really had only wanted time to herself, and the fact that something had obviously happened later on had been sheer coincidence. Nah. She really didn't believe in coincidence.””
