“You need to give me the recipe for your beauty treatment,” Abby says on Tuesday as we’re in the clinic’s break room, nursing cups of coffee. Evelyn is with us too. She lies on three chairs, with her arms bent under her head.

“I slept well this weekend, that’s all,” I mumble, not willing to spill the beans. Abby and Evelyn never have any qualms about dishing on details about their private life, but I’ve never felt comfortable doing the same. Now more than ever, I feel as if I should keep quiet, as if what Max and I have together might disappear if I tell anyone about it.

“Girl, I bet you haven’t slept at all,” Evelyn says knowingly, sitting up on one chair. “Did you and Max finally get down and dirty?”

Heat creeps up my cheeks, and Abby’s eyes widen. “Do tell.”

“Yeah, I spent the weekend with him,” I admit. They exchange knowing glances, and I suspect I’m missing something.

“How was it?” Evelyn asks.

I shake my head vehemently. “I don’t share details, you know that.”

Abby springs to her feet, pacing the small foyer. “That’s not fair. You told us all about Dickhead, and we were good friends and listened to you. But we need to hear some good stuff too.”

“Yeah, come on,” Evelyn urges. “Give us something.”

I’m racking my brain for a good excuse to leave my interrogators, when my phone vibrates with an incoming call. My lips instantly form a grin when I see who is calling. Max.

Adopting an apologetic look, I hold up the phone. “Have to take this.”

I walk a few feet away, but I can still hear their whispers.

“Aww, look at her. She never had that look on her face when Dickhead called,” Abby says.

“It’s almost dopey,” Evelyn adds.

“I did tell you it was a good idea to stop that elevator.” Abby’s words make me stop in my tracks and turn to them.

“You what?” I sputter.

“I thought you said you needed to answer the phone,” Abby says.

“You really stopped the elevator?” I grip my phone tightly, but as I watch the two of them, my annoyance melts into amusement.

“Well,” Evelyn replies, eyeing her feet, “I thought it would give the two of you a push.”

“How do you even know how to stop the elevator?” Now I’m fascinated in earnest.

Evelyn doesn’t miss a beat. “I watch a lot of movies. He looks like he cares for you, Emilia. Really cares for you,” Evelyn says. “So we wanted to see what happened if the two of you were stuck with each other in a small space for some time.”

“But nothing happened. You two are confusing me.” Belatedly I realize the phone in my hand has stopped ringing.

“That’s the point,” Abby exclaims. “He was the perfect gentleman.”

“That sealed it for us,” Evelyn adds.

I bite back a laugh, deciding on the spot not to tell them about Max’s borderline phobia of small spaces. They only tried to help, after all. In their own weird, juvenile way.

“Just don’t do it again,” I warn them.
