"Are you sure she has the gun?" Syn asked as he looked at Lucifer. We hadn't seen him in almost a week but here he was telling us my "mother's" latest plans. I wanted a relationship with her, but how could she want to do this to me?
"She couldn't have known we lost it if she didn't have it," Lucifer urged.
Syn and I glanced at each other and I shook my head slowly. "So you want us to fake break up?" I asked.
Lucifer grimaced and nodded. "If I felt there was another option I wouldn't ask but there isn't. This gun is dangerous and if she has it we're dead."
Syn ran his hand through his hair and paced his room. After a few moments, he turned to me and shrugged tiredly. "It's your call."
I thought about it for a few moments as I looked down at my feet. Breaking up with Syn even if it was fake was going to be horrible but if it was going to save his life...it needed to happen. I nodded and turned to Lucifer. "We'll do it."
"Great," Lucifer said in a relieved voice as we stood up. "I'll leave you two to figure out the where and when."
"Okay," Syn muttered.
Lucifer in a few strides made it to the door and out of the room and I turned back to Syn. "So how do you want to do it?"
He crossed his arms and blew out a frustrated breath. "Well, we need Lilith to see it. Considering she's never far, I think we should do it at the ball."
"That's the day after tomorrow."
"I know," he said as he threw himself onto the bed. "But this isn't something we can afford to waste time on."
"How would we do it?" I asked quietly.
He adjusted himself on the bed so his back was on the headboard and he looked at me. "Come here."
I walked over to him reluctantly and he pulled me onto him. Syn kissed the top of my head and I laid comfortably on his chest as I thought about our "break up". I ran a couple of ideas through my mind, but nothing was good enough. They all had holes in them and they would only be believable temporarily.
"I have an idea," Syn spoke up.
"What?" I looked up at him.
"I need you to cheat on me," he said calmly.
I moved away from him and stared at him in shock. "What?! How Syn that-"
"Let me explain," he began. "I'll spread the news that I won't be attending the ball..."
"Then how-"
"I'm not done, Princess." I shut my mouth and sighed as I listened to him avidly. His plan already sounded ludicrous. "So I'll tell everyone I won't go. Tomorrow night you will go to dinner with Sebastian and you will bring him as your date to the ball. I'll spontaneously show up and see you with him and break up with you."
