JAMIE TRIED TO SMILE at Whittaker, but she couldn’t. She wanted the reporter gone, the interview finished, her show over, and this nonsense dismissed. Where was Marcy? She should be riding to the rescue, dammit.

Whittaker did her a favor and left the room. At least Jamie could be grateful for that. But where was Marcy? Jamie’s program was going up in smoke, and Marcy had decided to take a brief vacation. Jamie was going to have to kill her. In the meantime, though, she’d better get ready to sway this conversation another way. This was her show, dammit, not Darlene’s.

Damn! Cujo’s signal to her was desperate. She had no idea how long she’d been stewing. “Welcome back. This is Dr. Jamie Hampton, and we’re here with Darlene Whittaker from Vanity Fair. Let’s talk about your lives. Is there a question about your body you’ve always wanted to ask? How about sex? Come on, guys. Masturbation. Cross-dressing. G-spots. Don’t be embarrassed.”

All the lines were blinking, but according to Jamie’s computer, Gabby Fisher was on line one. God bless her little neurotic heart. Gabby was a regular, and she wasn’t shy about taking air time. She’d fill up a good ten minutes. Just as Jamie was about to press the button, Whittaker struggled through the door and hurried to her seat.

Jamie shoved the button down, terrified by the gleam in Whittaker’s eyes. “Gabby, hi.”

“Hi, Dr. Jamie.”

“What can I do for you tonight?”

“I think it would be great to have you show us, you know, how to be strong with a man.”

Jamie cursed silently. This wasn’t going to go away. “You already know how to be strong. You don’t need me to show you.”

“I might know how,” Gabby said, her voice dejected, “but it never works out that way. I guess I’m just not like you.”

“You can be whatever you want to be, Gabby. You just need to shift your beliefs about yourself. A stunt like this isn’t going to show you anything.”

Whittaker moved her chair closer to the desk. “Are you afraid, Dr. Jamie?”

“No, not at all. But my expertise is in helping others. This isn’t about me.”

“But don’t you think it should be?”

“What, so all surgeons should remove their own gall-bladders, just for the experience?” Gabby laughed.

Whittaker didn’t. “I think you’re hiding behind that title, Jamie. I think you don’t want to put your money where your mouth is.”

“You’re right. In this instance, I don’t.”

Whittaker’s gaze shifted to the window, then back again. “It would make a hell of an interesting experiment. I know your listeners would learn a lot. Show them firsthand what happens when a man is out for seduction. See what happens. Instead of talking about the experiment, go into the lab.”

Jamie forced herself to keep calm—to not reach over and strangle the reporter. “I just don’t believe this is the kind of thing one can demonstrate. It’s not like baking a cake.”

Whittaker smiled at her, then turned to the mike. “Well, audience, are we going to let her off the hook? I’ll tell you something.
