Ha ha ha ha ha! You're right to be suspicious! The only things that'll make her breasts smaller are surgical reduction or losing body fat.

In fact, IMO (and other women here can flame me if I'm wrong, but ...) if she gets her chest muscles a bit bigger (by working them damn hard), and doesn't lose body fat in the process, her cleavage will appear more "cleaved", and she'll seem a bit more stacked.

Yeap, SteelWeaver is right. That's what's happened to me (and I'm glad cause I'm a small-tit girl). Breasts are all fat - as far as I know - so the only way to make 'em smaller is reducing body-fat.

Maybe she's pulling your leg because she just doesn't want to work chest.

Being very lean and thus mammary-challenged, working chest from all angles (flat, incline, & decline) has certainly helped me. Now with a little mass on my chest, you can't see any more nasty bones. That little line down the middle gives the illusion of cleavage, which I think is kinda cool. The pec muscles lie beneath the (natural) breast tissue, so building the pecs really shouldn't shrink them, unless she lowers bodyfat too.
