Yeah, well Nate was certainly not going to lie to Garan anymore. Not when this was what it was getting him. Although, it could also be said that telling the truth landed them in this situation. It was too confusing.
As much as he wanted to leave, Nate just couldn't get himself to walk out that door. "Okay, but you have to tell me what's wrong then," he said. Nate wanted to get the hell out of there, but he didn't want to leave without knowing the full story of why Garan was upset. The boy was full of contradictions.
