Paul, the bigger question is why Molly would have made all this up? You have shown she did make it up, but you didn't tell us why she lied in the first place. This would put the human part of this story together for me.
One of my favorite quotes of all time come from a real estate class. The question was this; "Do people lie?"
Of course people lie. ALL THE TIME. But why? There's the rub.
