Dear Joe:

Yes it was a lie. It was a very short exchange that you had with the guy, but it was still an exchange of words, a short and limited conversation.

Your lie followed her invading your privacy, using your phone without your permission.

She knew that you talked with him, that is, exchanged a few words. She asked you testing you, to see if you will tell her the truth.

Thing is, following what she did, she didn’t deserve the truth from you.
