TWENTY-SIX

Luna and Sunny took the train to Freeport to get Sunny’s car. Lois had gone home with one of her skydiving friends—a lipstick lesbian named Francesca.

“So?” Sunny asked, when the train was out of the tunnel and they could hear each other without straining.

“So what?”

“So I saw you making out with Mr. Eyeballs.”

“And?”

“What did he have to say for himself?”

Luna thought briefly about not telling Sunny. This was embarrassing. No, wrong word. This was mortifying. But Sunny was her best friend, and that was that. “He said he’s into BDSM.”

“Which is…”

“Basically, it’s bondage.”

“He wants to torture you?” Sunny’s voice was a little loud for the Long Island Rail Road. Luckily, the car was nearly empty.

“I don’t think ‘torture’ is quite the word—” though it was the word she’d thought of, too.

“My ass it isn’t. Have you seen those women in hoods? They look pretty tortured to me.”

“You can’t see their faces.”

“Exactly! Is this what you’re looking for in a relationship: pain and dehumanization?”

“I wouldn’t wear a hood. I’m claustrophobic.”

“Christ on a sesame seed bun with a pickle! Why would you want to have anything to do with this man’s insanity at all?”

Luna stared out the window, at the darkness blurring by. The train’s hum seemed disturbingly loud tonight. “Is it so different, to be a physical submissive instead of an emotional one?”

“You are fucked up. You really need a shrink.”

“I told you, I’m done with shrinks.”

“Then talk to your chiropractor.”

“I know what he’d say. He says the same thing anytime I ask advice.”

“Which is?”

“He says nothing is right or wrong. The question is whether it makes me happy.”

“And does it?”

“I don’t know.”

“That’s why you’re fucked up!”

“Can’t I just play it by ear?”

“With a man like that? No.”

“He said we don’t have to do that stuff.”

“Yeah, right. You don’t have to do it yet. Next thing you know, you’ll be in a ratchet gag.”

“Ratchet gag?”

“I saw one on-line once. You can get the picture from the name. Not an attractive look.”

Bing! The train announcement system sounded. “This station is Jamaica,” said a computerized voice

They were halfway there.

The lights flashed on and off, the way they always did at Jamaica.

Sunny sighed. “When you go out with him, make sure you keep your cell phone on.”
