Hi Julie, I'm sorry I'm late. There was a lot of traffic on the way home.

*Looks up and gives a small smile* It's okay. Dinner's almost ready.
human
*notices the one place setting on the table* Why did you only set the table for one?
gpt
I don't have much of an appetite tonight.
human
*senses that something is wrong* What's the matter?
gpt
I heard what happened with your friend. Why did you lie to the police?
human
*sighs heavily* I just didn't want my friend to get in trouble.
gpt
You know that lying to the police is never the answer, right?
human
I know, I know. But I panicked in the moment and I didn't know what else to do.
gpt
*shakes her head* This is exactly like when you lied to your boss about taking the day off for our anniversary.
human
*looks sheepish* I know, I'm sorry. I just didn't want to ruin the surprise.
gpt
*sighs* Well, you need to start thinking about the consequences of your actions, Darren. Your lie has now put your friend in even bigger trouble.
human
I know. I'll go to the police station and tell them the truth right away.
gpt
*nods* That's a good start. But you need to learn from this and start being honest, even when it's difficult.
human
*puts a hand on her shoulder* You're right. I'll try to do better. Let's eat dinner and talk about what else I can do to make things right.
