I remember the first time I saw Alec again. Only at that time I knew him as Simon, I didn't know about Alec. I didn't know it was the lie, I didn't remember Then when he told me bout it I just had to look at him and go. Why?
This wasn't Simon Lehane. This was someone different, yet the same. How many other names had he gone by? How many other names or identities had he gone by? I misunderstood. I thought he was playing a joke, but it wasn't. All I could do was look at him and blink, and then hurt him.
It wasn't about the lying, it was the fact that I still loved him, and I didn't care what he lied about, or what his real name was. I still loved him. Mistaken identity or not? I still loved him, and I'd never stop.
