[ She isn't expecting to hear back so quickly; isn't expecting to hear back at all, really, so when her device vibrates she grabs it immediately, reading the message with a slow sigh.
Chloe can't imagine a universe where Lucifer could hate her. They have been through Hell together, perhaps him more literally than her, but he hid his true face from her for as long as they knew each other so he wouldn't scare her away. She knows he cares about her, in his way. That still doesn't make her feel any better, it still doesn't make her feel like an less of an asshole for what had happened between them. ]
Because I'd deserve it. Because I misled you about what happened at home.
[ Because she lied to him to protect herself. She lied to him about thinking what happened was a mistake. ]
