Anita,

I don’t quite understand your question exactly. I booked a trip to see him for his birthday and he told me he was going away for the weekend with his friends. That was no big deal at all. I just adjusted my trip to see him when he got back. He said he was in Spain with his friends and he was really at home. But he texted me flight details and was telling me all about his trip while he was away.  So he created this fake trip so he could have his birthday with his friends. This is the part I don’t get. Why not just say that to begin with?  Hope that clears up why I’m confused.
