For Damien to ask about Lane's birthday exactly on Lane Allen's birthday… Was it a coincidence?
Lane didn't think so!
Despite all of his efforts (that is, his lies and denials), Damien was still suspicious of his identity. Lane was very well aware of it, of course. With how sharp the man's instincts were, unless he could somehow prove without a shadow of a doubt that he wasn't Lane Allen - which he couldn't, since that was the truth! - Damien would remain suspicious for a long, long time.
But… what was Lane supposed to do now?
Of course, he was technically prepared for this situation. He knew Damien might try something like that when he asked Lane to come over on this particular day. And he wasn't unprepared. He knew when 'Jonathan's' birthday was, he found all that stuff right after he decided to use his dead former classmate as his fake identity. All he had to do was to say the date, and the topic would be (temporarily) closed…
