Personally, I think the journal is a bigger lie than the gossiping. One was accidental the other was an outright lie, and a breach of privacy, not telling Troy about the journal is the worst thing Grant could’ve done. The earlier Grant tells him the better, because everyday it gets worse. Brian, for some odd reason, has kept quiet about Grant lying to him, and it would appear as if Grant has only shot at keeping him happy enough to continue doing so. By the way, excellent chapter and I can’t wait to read more!
