We come up with a chorus of 'yes', and a playful little smile slowly curves over Andie's lips.
"Before I tell you what it's about, I want you to think about your favorite kinky fantasy—-"
Daria is already grinning before Andie's even done speaking while Madeleine's cheeks are now rosy.
Andie looks at me expectantly. "Leah?"
"Um..."
Lemme see.
"I know you didn't have any time to date when Io was sick," Madeleine says, "but surely you've had time toimagineyourself having a boyfriend?"
I shake my head. "Not really."
"Then try coming up with something now," Daria suggests slyly. "Think of something reallyforbidden—-"
An idea pops in my head out of nowhere, and a gasp slips past my lips.
"I have something!"
My friends squeal while Daria excitedly urges me to spill.
"In my fantasy..."
Madeleine visibly holds her breath.
"I'm this really dumb girl—-"
Andie blinks like my words have instantly sobered her up."Okaaaay."
"Like really, really, dumb, that I can't even think of anything to worry about." Just saying the words make me feel all tingly inside.
Oh, if only that could be true!
"Is the kinky part coming next?" Daria asks hopefully.
I nod vigorously in answer, and Nik's wife brightens up. "Go on then."
"So there's me, this innocent and super-dumb girl—-" I beam and point to myself for emphasis. "And one day, I go to my doctor—-"
All three girls groan.
"I'm just getting started," I protest.
"You suck at thinking kinky," Andie complains.
"But you haven't yet heard the good part!"
Madeleine looks at me dubiously. "What's good about visiting your doctor—-"
"Everything," I exclaim with a laugh.
Daria glances at my friends. "I think she's really, reallysmashed."
I find myself pouting at her words, and that's when I realize...
Oh.
