"What about cocks?"
"Um, I've seen some chickens. Maybe a rooster…"
"I mean of the human variety."
Okay, he's definitely woken up now.
I scrunch my nose, intent on not making this easy for him. "A human rooster?"
He laughs. "Gross, no. I mean a human penis. Have you sampled any, apart from Shirtless Guy?"
"Technically, I didn't really sample it, not properly, anyway, and his name is Wilby."
"Shirtless Guy has a nice ring to it, though."
I grin. "Yeah, it does. Listen, you're not going to believe this?—"
"You've gone three consecutive hours without eating?"
"Don't be ridiculous. No. I'm in Scuttlebutt."
"Still don't think that's the name of a real place."
"I can assure you it is a very real place, and I am very much here. And get this, this is Shirtless Guy's hometown."
"No way. What are the odds?"
"Right."
"What's the place like?"
"Couldn't tell you. I haven't seen much. I literally just pulled up, checked into my room, and called you. But the main street looks nice. Like an American small town, but just, more Aussie."
"Wow. So descriptive. Feels like I'm there."
"Hey, give me a break. I just drove for twelve hours straight."
His eyes bulge.
"And you didn't get yourself killed?"
"Hey, my driving skills have…improved." Seriously, why are the cars and roads here back to front? Driving in big cities is still a nightmare, but thankfully, most of my trip out to Scuttlebutt was on a long open highway. Nothing but me, my Spotify playlist, and wide-open plains stretching for as far as the eye could see.
"I took breaks, don't worry. I just couldn't handle another flight. I had no freaking idea Australia was this big. It's basically the same size as the US."
"Get out."
"I'm serious."
"And in a country that big, with all those sexy Margot Robbies and Chris Hemsworths strolling around, you mean to tell me you still haven't had any sex?"
"Well, no."
"Oh my god. Youarestill hung up on Shirtl—Wilby."
"Uh…"
"He really made an impression."
