“What took you so long?” Julie asked the moment she opened the door.

“Traffic was horrible. Getting out of the center of the city at rush hour always is,” Shannon answered as she pushed her way into the house, trying not to spill the coffees she had in her hands.

Julie closed the door behind her friend and leaned against it. “What did he say when you got back from lunch?”

Shannon thrust one of the cups out toward her friend. “Not wasting any time, are we?” She laughed as she sipped at her own. “We came to an agreement.”

Julie pushed off the door and rushed toward Shannon. “What kind of agreement?”

Shannon giggled and went to sit on the couch. “You’re funny when you squirm.”

Julie was not enjoying herself. She felt like she was losing control. Ever since Anthony’s she’d been a wreck—thinking about him and what he would say to Shannon. To try and get her mind off it, she’d spent the last couple of hours scrubbing the oven. She was pretty sure she’d scrubbed off some of the enamel.

“So glad to know you’re enjoying my pain. Now what kind of deal?” She plopped down next to Shannon.

“I told him that he could ask me one thing about you or the situation or whatever, and then that would be it. We need to be able to work together and all that. Then I threatened him, and we went on a tour of the dildo factory.”

Julie wasn’t sure where to start. There was so much wrong with what Shannon had just told her. She decided to focus on the most important thing. “So, what was his question?”

“He hasn’t asked it yet.”

Another blow. She hadn’t expected him to not be interested. It knocked the wind out of her before she could remind herself she didn’t care. She couldn’t have a relationship.

Shannon perked up and Julie realized her disappointment must be showing. She tried to smile. “Well, tell me about the dildo factory, then.”

Shannon put a hand on Julie’s knee. “He hasn’t asked because he said if he only had one, he wanted to make it count. He’s mulling it over, making sure he doesn’t waste the opportunity. And the dildo factory wasn’t really a factory, they make them at a different location. I’m going to see that next week. It was more of the pre-factory stuff. The design, development, research, and trial stuff.”

Julie absorbed her words. She could almost deal with him waiting to ask questions. That meant that he really had way more than one question he wanted to ask. That was good. But then she realized again that she couldn’t care, because she couldn’t have a relationship. So she focused on the dildos instead. “Testing, huh? What’s that look like? Do they hire for that, or do people just volunteer? Who watches? Or is there just a survey?” Julie laughed so hard she had a hard time breathing.

Shannon laughed with her. “Can you imagine the ad for something like that?” They continued to laugh for several minutes before Shannon continued.
