"Noelle, stop pretending," Xenia shot back. "There have been rumors at school about you two being together, and then you ran away from home and even lived with this man. Who's going to believe that you're not together?" Justin raised his voice. "Noelle, you're living with another man?"

Xenia smiled knowingly. "Yes, I told you about it before, but you didn't believe me."
