Cassie is the name of the girlfriend Atlas tells Lily about when they reconnect after many years apart. Though Lily is glad Atlas is happy, she is jealous when he tells her about Cassie, and this shows her that she still has feelings for Atlas. When Lily flees Ryle’s abusive behavior and takes refuge at Atlas’s house, she learns from Atlas’s friends that Cassie never existed—Atlas lied about having a girlfriend so Lily wouldn’t pity Atlas for being alone.

“I will say…I kind of wish this could have happened a year ago.”
I wince at his words, trying not to let them penetrate […]

Quotes
“Why did you never come back for me?”
[…] “Why did you lie about having a girlfriend?”
He rubs a hand over his face and I can already see the regret before I even hear it in his voice. “I said that because…you looked happy that night. When I saw you telling him goodbye, it hurt like hell, but at the same time I was relieved that you seemed to be in a really good place. I didn’t want you to worry about me. And I don’t know…maybe I was a little jealous. I don’t know, Lily. I regretted lying to you as soon as I did it.”
[…] I instantly start thinking about the what-ifs. What if he would have been honest with me? Told me how he’d felt? Where would we be now?
I want to ask him why he did it. Why he didn’t fight for me.
