I said, “You knew about me?”
Her smile faded. “Of course.”
I turned toward Robert.
Ariella looked between us. “What’s wrong?”
I asked her, “Did you know I didn’t know about you?”
She looked at Robert. “You told me she knew.”
Robert closed his eyes.
Ariella stepped backward. “What?”
He said, “I told you she knew I was dealing with something from my past.”
“No.”
Her voice sharpened. “You told me she knew about me.”
“I didn’t say exactly that.”
“You absolutely made me think that.”
Ariella looked at me. “I’m sorry.”
“You don’t need to apologize.”
“I thought you knew.”
