I knock at Lee's house's door.
She opens it, and I can see she has cried. Her eyes are big, red, and covered with flowing mascara.
« Hi, Val. Please, come in.
She hesitates a bit, then adds slowly, with a weak voice :
« Enrick called. He...He doesn't want to see me anymore.
I don't answer, and immediately goes to her kitchen. Then I open a drawer and take a box of cookies. I put violently one in my big mouth.
« So... I say when I'm done, we need a plan.
« A...plan ?
« Yeah, dummy ! A plan ! We need to erase every single hint of this affair.
"But, she answers me, we were very discreet...
"Seriously ? I knocked at the door and he opened it !
« O-Okay...
« So. Step one : you told me you met him through a meeting website. Is your account still available ?
« I-I think so ?
"Let's take a look on it"

She takes her laptop, and as she searches I ask her a question : "Where's Phileas, by the way ?"
"At work."
She doesn't give any details. Suddenly she tells me she fount the website, and gives me the computer. I read the name of the site, and smile : LoveBird.com
Then I take a look at the description :

I look at her with a "seriously-you-couldn't-find-worse" expression and log in under her username.
"What is your password ?
She turns red.
"Hem...
"Oh, poor you ! I promise I'm not gonna steal your account, Okay ? I say with irony.
"C-H-E-A-T-I-N-G she answers.

I look at her, then murmur :
"Man...I can't believe it.

The profile opens and I start to go on it settings.
" - Log out. - I hope it will be enough to definitively erase you from it.

Then I tell her :
"Now your history of searches.

She turns at me with a fearful look.
