We played Uno until midnight, when Logan announced he had work to do and left. I had stopped drinking and fought off sleep until then, hoping my mother would go to bed and Logan and I could, um, cuddle in my room. I might not trust him, but I didn’t need trust to get the comfort of rubbing body parts.

“You lie as badly to yourself as you do to other people.”

I had gone to bed alone (unfortunately), so that meant…I blinked at my shoulder. It was empty.

“Yoo-hoo. Over here. Ow.”

Bad Liese sat on my nightstand, propped up against a glass of water. She was pressing her forehead to the glass like she had a really bad headache.

“Hangover?” I rooted around in the nightstand drawer, found a bottle of aspirin and popped it with my thumb. “Take this.”

The white tablet was half as big as her face. She nibbled it delicately. Grimaced. “Don’t you have any sugar for this?”

“Not here. What did you mean by that, me lying badly to myself?”

“Ain’t it obvious?” She took another tentative nibble on the aspirin. Her tongue pushed out repeatedly. “Maybe other people don’t need trust to have sex. But you do.”

“Do not.”

“Too. Otherwise why has your only lover since Botcher been your hand?”

“Don’t be crude. It’s because nobody’s been interested until now.”

“Not.”

“Too.”

“N—”

An authoritative clap of hands cut us off. “Girls, girls.” Good Liese, at the foot of the bed, was disgustingly chipper. “Don’t fight.”

Bad Liese held her head on with both hands. “Ow. Do you have to be so loud?”

I closed my eyes. “Or so bright?”

G-Liese smirked. “She’s right, Liese. You’re not going to make love unless you actually love.”

“I don’t love Logan Steel.”

“Su-ure you don’t.”

“Because obviously saying it makes it true,” B-Liese said.

“I don’t.” My voice rose. “And let me tell you—”

There was a knock on the wall. “Everything okay, Liese?”

The three of us exchanged looks of panic. Three forefingers slapped to lips. “Shhh.”

“Liese, answer me. Do you need me in there?”

G-Liese pressed her tiny ear to the wall. “She’s getting up. Do something!”

“Why me?”

B-Liese rolled her eyes. “Who’s the real person, here? Say something.”

“I’m fine, Mom.” I put every ounce of sincerity I could into my voice.

Bad Liese snorted. “I’m fine,” she warbled in imitation. “Could you sound any more like a sick cow? Moooo. I’m a cow.” Good Liese shook with laughter, tiny hands holding her stomach.

I flicked G-Liese off the end of the bed. She landed on the floor with a tiny poof. Putting my face up to B-Liese I yelled, “Just getting an aspirin, Mom.” B-Liese clapped hands to her head and tottered off the nightstand.

I popped the nibbled aspirin in my mouth and washed it down with the cold water, then turned my back on the disgusting duo. “I am not in love with Logan.”

G-Liese grunted from the floor. “Not completely.”

“Not yet, at any rate,” B-Liese said right into my ear.

I flinched. Glared at her. “Why don’t you guys just go away and let me sleep?”

G-Liese popped onto the same shoulder.
