I toss my phone on the couch. Holy fucking shit. Rafe is into Kenna. Like, for real. And she’s into him. It gives me an idea.

Go for it. Enjoy Disney. There’s nothing like a VIP Disney day.

Really? You’re sure you don’t mind? I mean, I’ll wear the wig and everything. Whatever you want me to do.

Whatever you want to do is fine with me. So long as you don’t get arrested. I just have one small request.

Shoot.

How would you feel about having a one-night stand with Noah?

Who?

Is she kidding me?

Noah Greenberg. He comes into the diner all the time. English teacher. Broken leg.

Oh, that Noah. You’re kidding, right?

Not kidding.

Lorelei, I would never have a one-night stand with Noah Greenberg.

Well, technically, it wouldn’t be you.

Smiley face emoji. Devil Emoji. Eggplant emoji.

But he would think it was me.

Yeah, but the good news is that as of yesterday, he really likes you a lot, and I think he’d be fine with that.

What did you do?

Eek face. Face plant.

Cool your jets. Nothing that requires a trip to planned parenthood.

She responds with three Easter Island guys. Whatever that means.

Listen, I think I’m being super cool about the Disney trip, so …

But that’s different!

How so?

I drum my fingers on the plaid armrest.

Because Rafe knows I’m not you. Nobody is being deceived.

Do Naomi and Orly know? Have you thought about that?


The three dots come and go.

Why can’t you just come clean? Tell Noah who you really are.

I’m afraid he won’t like me. He’s just so much cooler than me.
