I was stupid.
Distracted.
Focused so hard on what I was there to do,
that I slipped.
You looked at the wrong time.
You were closer than
I normally would have allowed.
I was surprised
and took a second too long
to answer your question.
It's obvious.
I know.
You seem to think you know me
well enough to call me out on my obtrusive dishonesty.
I'm sorry for lying to you,
but no one can know.
And thanks for accusing me,
in front of everybody.
That was nice of you.
Your authority made me nauseous all day.
You could ruin my life.
Not that you would.
Purposefully.
Please don't ask again.
Please don't tell anyone.
Please don't say anything.
