TAYLOR ACTUALLY WENT so far as to begin packing her luggage, intent on leaving Ocean City and Holden Masters far behind her, before she gave it up as a bad job and sat down on her bed, mumbling aloud, “How did a nice girl like you get mixed up in a mess like this?” just as Tiffany came into the room without knocking.

“I’m bummed,” the younger woman announced baldly, pouting as she lifted Taylor’s half-filled duffel from the bed, dropped it on the floor, then collapsed on her back on the mattress, looking up at the ceiling. “I mean, totally bummed. Holden says Lance can’t come with us. He says he’s weird.” Tiffany lifted her head an inch off the mattress—the head now framed by hair nearly the same shade as the exterior of the condo—and looked at Taylor, her eyes wide.

“Can you believe that? Weird? Lance is not weird. He wouldn’t think of, like, piercing his tongue, for one thing. Herbie did, though—and Daddykins never even said boo to him the night he came to one of our pool parties and got a nacho chip stuck in it.”

“He got a nacho chip stuck in the pool?” Taylor asked, grinning, then shook her head. Proper English, as well as sarcasm, were both totally wasted on Tiffany. “Anyway, that’s too bad, Tiff. But you can spend one day away from Lance, can’t you?”

The girl rolled her eyes. “Of course I can, Taylor, although he’ll be, like, totally lost without me. But if I pout, Holden will give me more money for the shops. Jeez, don’t you know anything?”

“Apparently not,” Taylor said, pulling a sweatshirt out from beneath Tiffany’s sprawled body, folding it and replacing it in the open drawer. “Did you know Amanda Price is coming with us?” Now, why on earth did she mention that? Taylor shook her head, angry with herself. “Not that it matters, of course.”

Tiffany levered herself up on her elbows, an unholy grin splitting her deeply red painted mouth. “Oh-oh—trouble in paradise? Already? Well, relax. Holden is crazy about you. It’s just that he’s always nice to everyone and doesn’t want Amanda to feel left out.” She dropped back against the mattress, reas-suming her self-pitying, martyred pout. “Although he sure hasn’t been nice to Lance. Called him a dork.” She pulled a face. “Yeah, right. Like anyone says dork anymore.”

Taylor turned away, not wanting Tiffany to see her smile. “What are you going to wear to the casinos, Tiff?” she asked, hoping to change the subject. “I thought I’d wear my denim skirt and a knit top.”

“Sounds good,” Tiffany agreed, sitting up again—the child had more energy than a two-year-old on a sugar high. “We’re going to the Taj Mahal, you know. I asked. The limo is coming at one o’clock.”

“The limo?”

“Of course,” Tiffany answered calmly, while Taylor shook her head, knowing the last time she’d ridden in a limousine was for her high-school prom—and then, three couples had chipped in to hire the thing, so they’d ended up crammed into it like sardines.
