“WAKE UP! WAKE UP, JANE! Where have you been, you little slut!” Jane woke up to Sadie jumping on her bed with the uncontrolled glee of an 8-year-old. She pulled her covers over her head, but Sadie refused to budge, instead reclining on top of Jane's legs.

“Unh. Go away. So tired.”

“It's almost four o'clock, get up and tell me what awful, nasty things you did last night!”

Jane cringed. She couldn't tell Sadie what awful things actually happened last night, so she would have to settle for Jane's fictional account. Without pausing for breath, Jane peeked her head out from the comforter and sped through a vague story about meeting a guy at the museum. When she got to the part where her make believe suitor spilled wine on her dress, Sadie gasped.

“Where is it? Maybe I can get the stain out before it sets!”

“The stain was permanent, so he bought me a new dress. It's hanging over there.” Jane untangled her hand from the covers and pointed in the general direction of the dress. Sadie leapt off the bed and picked up the hanger.

“Oh, Jane. This guy must have good taste. It's this season and not cheap.” Sadie held the dress in front of herself and played with the material of the skirt. Can I have him when you're done?”

“I am done with him, and you can't have him. But, you can have the dress. I'll get it dry cleaned. Tomorrow.”

“Ohhhhh…even better!” Sadie took the dress off the hanger and held it against her body. “It should fit perfectly. How on earth did you get into it?” Jane pulled the comforter back over her head. Sadie could be a little oblivious to hurtful comments sometimes, regardless of how true they were. Jane was glad she never had to wear the dress again.

“So, not that I'm complaining about the dress or anything, but what got into you? I mean I can see me doing something like that, but not you. Was it because The Guy never showed up? Are you finally giving up on him?”

“Yep. I am giving up on him. I don't think I'll ever see him again, but that may not be a bad thing.”

“Maybe this new guy is better anyway. He gave you his number at least. The other guy didn't even give you his name. I know it might not be the best way to meet a guy. But if you're telling me I can't have him, that probably means you're not done with him.”

“Huh?”

“This ‘L” guy. The guy who gave you the dress. Maybe you should give him another chance. One night stands don't usually send you flowers the next day.”

Jane felt her stomach drop. Her voice felt flat.

“What guy? What flowers?”

“The ones on the kitchen table. Jeez, you really were conked out. They're beautiful! I read the card because I thought they were for me. Professor James and I had dinner after the study was finished yesterday. I thought maybe he sent them, or Jake from the coffee shop, or Brice from the library.
