I’m groggy as hell when I wake up in the morning, which I can only blame on the fact that last night got me ridiculously keyed up. I’m so on edge with this no-sex thing, I’ve killed the batteries in my vibrator. I’m resorting to nineteenth-century masturbation. Whatever Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is, I think I might actually have it.

At any rate, it takes me a moment to realize that there are signs of life in my apartment, just outside my bedroom door, and another to realize it’s not Connor Lizzie’s talking to; it’s Cait. I step into the living room and wave with one hand while covering a huge yawn with the other.

“Francesca! We were just talking about you!” Lizzie greets me cheerfully.

I wipe my eyes, still blurry from sleep, and see them seated at our little round dining table, their egg white omelets making clear Cait’s the one who made breakfast. “Well, that sounds ominous.”

“Not at all,” Cait assures me, tipping her plate toward me in silent offering. I shake my head and go for the coffeemaker instead. “You’ll like it.”

“Now she won’t, just because you told her she will,” Lizzie says with a grin.

Cait rolls her eyes. “She’s not you.”

“She’s right here. A little info, please?”

“We’re gonna have a dinner party!” Lizzie smiles brightly, like we are people who have dinner parties. “You’ve been having trouble coming up with dates that balance actually being date-y with the fact that you guys aren’t ‘out,’ right? So this is perfect! Plus, it’ll be a good chance for the rest of us to get to know Samara.”

“You know Samara, Cait. She’s your freaking roommate. You see her more than I do.”

Cait snorts. “First of all, no I don’t, and not just because I stay at Mase’s a lot.”

“Well, you’re still the only one of us who’s spent the night with her,” I grumble into my favorite Sailor Moon mug.

Lizzie raises an eyebrow. “Wasn’t that your idea?”

“Doesn’t mean I can’t be bitter about it.

“Fair.”

“Anyway,” says Cait, “we never see the two of you together, and frankly, we’re all dying to see you in girlfriend mode, so, indulge us?”

“Do I have to cook anything?”

“Nope! That’s the best part,” says Lizzie. “Connor and I have been taking Filipino cooking classes online so we can do it with my brothers over break. We’re gonna take care of everything to practice on you guys.”

“Okay, that sounds ominous,” says Cait. “But, there’ll be copious amounts of alcohol.”

“Provided by…?”

“Mase. He said you deserve it if we’re subjecting you to this,” she admits.

A little smile plays at my lips despite myself. If my friends had to practically get married to their boyfriends, at least they chose quality guys.

Wait, if they’re practically married, and Sam and I do this triple date thing…what does that make us?

This is the point, Frankie, I remind myself, hiding my rising panic behind my mug and taking a long sip of lukewarm coffee. This is exactly who you’re proving you can be.

Still, the thought makes
