❝ we all eat lies, when our hearts are hungry ❞
Halle Brewster made a promise she would never tell the secrets of the summer Alison DiLaurentis went missing. Only now, someone else was doing the telling - something Alison never got the chance to do...

Parked across from Emily's house, three of the five girls sat in Spencer's car waiting for Emily. Aria kept trying to get through to Halle, but there was no answer. The calls went to voicemail and texts were undelivered. They didn't know she was with Jason, sat in the Grille, slipping back into old habits and her deadliest secret. Before then, Spencer had gone to Officer Garrett Reynolds for more information, having previously given him Ian's ten-thousand-dollars to check out the lead they gave him.
"Wait, so it was just the two of you sitting in Garrett's car?" Hanna asked Spencer.
"I didn't know where else to meet him," Spencer reasoned. "It wasn't like I could ask him that stuff down at the precinct."
"How did you get away from him?" Aria asked.
"When you sent me that text, I told him it was my mom," Spencer told them. "That she wanted me home ASAP." She held up her hand horizontally to them. "Am I still shaking? I'm still shaking," Spencer said, panicked over Aria finding out Jenna's connection with Garrett.
"Yeah, we're all shaking," Hanna replied, pulling her jacket closer to her. "Can you turn on the heat? You could make a slushie back here."
"Guys, where would Jenna give him that lantern?" Aria asked them seriously.
"Okay, you don't know that she gave it to him," Hanna said.
"What do you think? He bought it at the blind artist's craft fair?" shot Spencer harshly. "Course she gave it to him. Question is, when did they become buddies — and why?"
"Spencer, they grew up across the street from each other," Hanna pointed out. "His parents still live in that house. Maybe he's just bringing raw meat to Jenna's cat."
"Toby lives there too, and they don't have a cat," Spencer said firmly.
"Then, maybe he was bringing over raw meat for Jenna," said Hanna, grossing the other two out.
They heard a door close, and Aria picked up her head. She looked across the road and saw Emily approaching. "Here comes Em," she said.
"Who's living in her house now?" asked Spencer.
"Some losers who can't figure out the alarm system," Hanna retorted. She rolled her eyes, over the frequent calls out. "Tripped it, like, three times and the security company keeps calling her mom in Texas."
The door opened, and Hanna moved over. Emily climbed in the back, behind the driver's side, sighing heavily as she got in and shut the door after her.
"Everything okay?" Spencer questioned her.
Emily nodded, a little dazed. "Yeah, it's fine," she said. "It's just so weird to walk in there and see other people's stuff."
"Hey, why don't you tell them to lay off the alarm for a couple days?" shot an irritable Hanna.
