“Is there a ‘but’ I’m hearing in there?”
“No… No ‘but’ at all. It’s just …unusual.”
“What? The costumes?”
“No. They’re fun. And I can understand why they might be good for you, too. I don’t pretend that I’m so yummy that I don’t need some spice, eh?”
She laughed.
“I guess- I’m just surprised at how often both you and Jane end up sitting on my face. To put it bluntly.” I chuckled lamely. “It’s not that I mind it – I like it. Actually, it’s kind of my favorite. Is that something in my profile?”
Claire laughed. “No, Honey, it’s in your eyes. Actually, it’s just a good position for me to do my thing without you – whoever I’m with, not you in particular – trying to run the show, or even just talk too much. Unless you express a preference or you’re an hourly, I’d probably end up there anyway when your stamina gave out, but you really seemed to enjoy it, didn’t you? If I hadn’t promised Jane I’d give you back in one piece, I’d probably still be there. It’s my favorite, too.” We smirked at each other. “That was a strange question. But just fine. You have to make sure you’re getting what you want out of this.”
