“What are you doing?”

The sound of George’s voice nearby had Perry shrieking. As she did, she covered a hand over her mouth and demanded, “What the hell are you doing here?”

He frowned. “I asked you first.”

“Yeah, but we’re in my bedroom. My bathroom to be more specific.” Damn, was nowhere sacred?

His lips curved into a smirk she felt like smacking. “Are you waxing your mustache?”

She grimaced. “Bleaching. I’m bleaching…” A cough escaped her instead of an admission.

He folded his arms across his chest and leaned against the doorjamb. “I wondered what you were up to.”

Narrowing her eyes at him, she demanded, “Why?”

“Why what?”

“Why did you wonder what I was doing?” Ever since he’d made his stunning revelations, they hadn’t been hanging out as much as usual. And though she missed him like crazy, the solitude was doing her good.

She needed to think, needed to reason this all out in her head. She couldn’t do that when he was there confusing the life out of her.

He shrugged. “Wanted to know if you fancied watching TV with me?”

“Can’t.”

“Why not?” He frowned at her, and she could tell, her rejection stung.

She really shouldn’t have been satisfied by that. But she was. Call her a bitch or just a she-cat, she didn’t care.

“I’m having dinner with your brother.”

His eyes widened in surprise. “Edward?”

“Yes. Edward. Have another brother you want to share me with?” she snapped angrily, unable to contain the bitterness in her tone even if said bitterness wasn’t even necessary.

Before he could reply, she deflated. Holding up a hand, she apologized, “That was uncalled for.”

“You’re confused,” he immediately forgave.

“Not confused enough to take my bad mood out on you.”

“That’s unusual for you to be in a bad mood. You’re normally quite cheerful.”

He was right, and that was exacerbating her temper. Because, the truth was, she was nervous. Nervous. It was why she was bleaching her damn mustache, had shaved so close to her skin her calves were itching, and she had more cream on her body than in the tub—hydrated wasn’t the word for her body now.

She was scared to put make up on because she didn’t do make up, but if Edward wanted to take her somewhere fancy—and he was a prince so why wouldn’t he? She’d need to do something with her eyes, right? Lipstick, too?

Then there was the age-old decision. Should she or shouldn’t she Spanx it up?

The only decent clothes she had for a date were the ones George had bought her, and they all felt a size too small. On her visit into the city, when she’d met with Xavier, she’d hared off before the date to buy some ‘wonderwear’. But, if things got frisky between her and Edward tonight—and she wasn’t going to lie to herself, there was a distinct chance that would be the case—did she really want control pantyhose to spoil the mood?

“Perry?”

She blinked as George said her name. “What?”

“Where did you go?”

“Nowhere?” she huffed. “Aside from you pestering me, why are you here?”

“I told you.
