Chapter Twenty

Doc’s expression is halfway between concerned and amused. I glare at him.

“So your mother . . .”

“Encouraged me to act like a whore. Yes,” I say darkly.

He frowns. “From what you’re describing, that wasn’t her goal.”

“Really? Then let me describe it again, so I get it right this time.”

“Ashley—”

I flap a hand at him. “I know what you mean. It just . . . bugs me.”

“The condom?”

I shake my head. “No, that was probably smart. But it was the reasoning behind it. She wasn’t trying to help me be careful, or whatever. She just assumed I’d give myself up for Dex—for any guy who gave me that kind of attention.”

“You did ask to go away overnight. With a date.”

“Yes, I did. But you’d think that would have spurred a little motherly advice, right? Something about caution, maybe?”

Doc shifts his weight and his notes start sliding off his lap. He grabs for them, straightening them as he talks. “So, did she do anything right that night?”

I looked past him to the hideous wallpaper. I don’t want to give Mom credit for anything—after she shoved me in here. But in hindsight . . . “I think she understood the situation better than I did,” I admit reluctantly. “That’s why she offered me the means to protect myself.”

“From sex?”

I shiver, and the weight of all of it presses me into my chair. “Yes. But also from guys who only think about themselves.”

“Dex?”

“Everyone.”
