Her conscience. I tell half-truths and white lies all the time in order to avoid irritating conversation topics, or to avoid getting people involved in parts of my life that I consider private. However, I would not lie to them about something big, or anything in which they were directly involved.
Trust is not about knowing that someone will always tell you the truth; trust is about knowing that you can rely on someone to be truthful or to support you when it is important. If something as small as a lie about her drive throws you off, I suggest you reconsider the way you evaluate trustworthiness, because 99.999% of people lie, and the ones who don't all live in monasteries and temples.
