"I never lied to you, Amelia," Laila's voice is strained, the watery undertone coming through over the phone.
With my heart pounding fast in my chest, the anger boiling to the very center, I'm about to part my lips and reply however, I'm met with the automated jail call stating, "You have one minute of talk time remaining."
"Amelia?" Laila asks with hesitation when the automated response fades away.
"Though you never lied to me..." my voice trails off, knowing the second I end this call, I'll be blocking any future ones, "...you never told me the truth and that's lying by omission. You still lied to me Laila. You dug your bed, now you're going to lay in it."
