Peyton did want to talk the situation with Ellie it was just hard for her to admit that to herself let alone anyone else. She wanted him to be able to talk to her too of course, the sharing problem thing worked both ways but it was just the matter of saying it aloud that was the problem.
“Good thing you’re an even worse liar than I am, huh.” Peyton responded with a grin, before looking ahead, of course they weren’t fine. It didn’t need saying. “Alright, I’m more than fine, I’m really fine. How about that?” Her tone was filled with sarcasm and she rolled her eyes a little but that was as close as she was going to get to admitting that she was far from ok with everything.
