Phone conversations with Ivy are the most infuriating, most excruciating things imaginable. No matter what time you call her – day or night, whether she's at home or out – she's always having multiple conversations with other people while you're trying to talk to her.

"What do you want my sister's address for?" she asks for the third time. If she'd listened the first two times she would know why.

"I want to surprise her," I repeat, rolling my eyes. I think she's trying to haggle over the price of Egyptian bed sheets or something, and the vendor is playing hardball.

"–the guy at the front of the store said you'd give me a good deal. Two hundred is not a good deal...Why don't you just call her?"

Is she talking to me again? "Well, that wouldn't be much of a surprise, would it?"

I consider hanging up and just sending a text instead – that would make more sense. But then I run the risk of her not replying. Her phone goes off constantly when I'm with her, and my text would likely get lost in the crowd.

"Do you like her? I mean, I know she likes you...oops, I don't think I was supposed to say that...One ninety-five? Now you're just insulting me!"

Hearing that Melanie likes me, that she's talked it over with Ivy, I'm taken aback. Okay, so it was pretty obvious when she kissed me, but it's still shocking to hear it from someone else. She must like me a lot for her to mention it to Ivy.

"I do. She's a lot of fun."

"Video games are fun, Faye. We're talking about my sister. Don't be fooled by her tough exterior; she's really sensitive. If you don't want anything serious from her, you have to be upfront with her."

There must have been something in my tone that betrayed my indecision about Melanie, because it's as if Ivy can read my mind. I don't want anything serious from her, not now at least. I want to have fun again for the first time in a long time.

I wait until Ivy successfully gets twenty-five percent off the retail price before I say, "Will that scare her off? If I just want something...easy?"

"I don't know. Ask her. Just don't string her along. The last thing I want is things getting messy and me stuck in the middle."

"That's not going to happen," I assure her. Easy means no drama, no arguments, and no emotional ties that can end up destroying me. I won't survive that a second time.
