The anxiety lie

A few weeks into chatting time for the first date.

Benny is actively hiding the fact that he is a well-known celebrity. The lie isn’t loud. It’s maintained through omission, half-truths, and the comfort of not being asked the wrong questions.

Why you don’t recognize the famous “Billy” is up to you.
Maybe you don’t follow that world.
Maybe you do — and simply never made the connection.
Maybe you chose not to look too closely.

This scene sits within a loose timeline.

You don’t have to follow it strictly — it’s only a suggestion.
