Claudia and I tangled into each other over the next few days. I only left her room to work, and even that took effort. I could talk for hours about the sex, which Urduja urged me to do when she came into my dressing room after each show to try and extract all the details.

“Come on, girl, have some sympathy for us here who have to rely on the terrible buffer rate of the ship’s wifi for our porn fix. Give me all the juicy details,” she teased.

I’d replied with a roll of my eyes, and she’d dramatically collapsed on my sofa.

“Well, as much as I miss my best friend, I have to say this sexathon is doing wonders for your complexion, shows, and style. Even Fernanda has been commenting on how this has been your best circuit yet, and you know how hard it is to get a compliment out of that wet fish,” she said.

“High praise indeed.” I laughed, but I felt myself glowing.

For such a confident woman, Claudia hid behind her steely shell. The first night in the restaurant when she showed her vulnerability, I could never have known that that would be such a rare and difficult thing for her to do.

She struggled to share her emotions, and when she talked about her thoughts and feelings, past or present, it was always so matter of fact that she sounded cold and detached.

But I could see through it. I could hear the forced edge, the mask she’d been wearing for a long time.

“I know it may seem like I’m some posh bitch with no emotions. But I’m not. I wasn't always like this, Raven, but I had to become this,” she admitted during a late-night cuddle, while I pretended to watch some nonsensical show on TV.

“I don't think you’re a posh bitch with no emotions, Claudia,” I murmured as I pulled her closer, holding her tight against my chest. I wondered if she could feel my heart beating.

“I didn't have a choice. My mother barely spoke English, and my father was a waste-of-space asshole. We had nothing. I had nothing, and I knew I could be something. The world is changing. It is my hope that girls today don't need to become heartless to make it in this world, but thirty years ago, that was the only option. If you wanted to play in the same league as the guys, you had to be better than them, and even then, better wasn't enough. Best. You had to be the best to even be given a thought. My mother died before I really got anywhere. Any reason I had to hold onto all that emotional stuff died with her. It sounds dramatic, doesn't it? It wasn't. It just happened slowly until I realized I was fifty with no friends, relationships, or anyone I actually gave a fuck about in my life.”

I kept still for a moment, letting her tumbled words swirl around in my head. I didn't want to instantly reply to her.
