"So," Bunz chirped a couple hours later. "How was your night? Dinner and a movie, right?"

Drew tried to give her a withering stare but she couldn't keep the smile off her face. "Oh, you know how the night was, you sly minx," she said as she opened a fresh bag of espresso beans.

Bunz laughed. "I'm going to ignore the fact that you just called me a 'sly minx'," she said. "What makes you think I know how it was?"

"C'mon," Drew said. "Heath told me you put a bug in his ear."

Bunz opened her mouth as though she wanted to protest, then thought better of it and shrugged. "Well, yeah. I mean, give credit where credit is due. I did do that. But," she lifted a finger in the air dramatically, "he didn't have to listen to me and he did it anyway. So you had a good time?"

"It was amazing," Drew said, with a dreamy smile. "The ballet was great, too."

Bunz laughed. "Wow, the day when your favorite ballet takes a backseat to the rest of the date is a day worth remembering. So what was so great about it?"

"He's just…amazing," Drew repeated, filling the top of the espresso grinder with fresh, whole beans. "Such a gentleman. Cleans up very well. Thoughtful."

"Delicious," Bunz added, then shrugged when Drew looked at her sharply. "What? He is. Did you get some?"

"B!" Drew squealed. "I'm not that kind of girl." She thought again of their night on the couch and reddened. It did not go unnoticed by Bunz. She gasped and pointed.

"Oh, my God!" she said in a hushed tone. "You did! Your chest is all—splotchy now."

Drew's neck and chest did tend to redden along with her face when she was embarrassed, and it intensified now that Bunz had pointed it out.

"We didn't—do that," she said, patting the air. "Calm down."

"What did you do?" Bunz demanded, leaning on the counter.

Drew pursed her lips. "Just—some things," she hedged. "Let's just say that he gave me a little release last night. In a very…respectful way."

"You are such a prude," Bunz complained. "I tell you about me and Anthony."

"And trust me, I want you to feel that you don't have to do that anymore," Drew replied, holding up a hand.

Bunz scoffed in annoyance and shook her head, then smiled. "Well, I'm really happy to hear you had a good time and that afterward you had….a good time." She laughed. "You deserve it."

"Thanks," Drew said. "I, uh, asked him if he would come to the trial. To be there for me."

"Oh, yeah?" Bunz lifted her eyebrows. "What did he say?"

"He said yes. Then he asked me if I would go to the tournament with him."

"And what did you say?"

"I asked for some time to think about it," Drew replied. "I felt like a hypocrite, but, there's a lot I have to take into consideration."

"Like what?" Bunz asked. "You asked him to support you, he asked for the same thing in return. What's to think about?"

"Well," Drew began. "The trips are a little different.
