Maybe we can still be friends
BE MORE THAN FRIENDS
BE SEXY FRIENDS
What do I say?
When I see him, I mean
Say something SEXY
Like what?
Like…
Hey, Mr. Lord
I’ve missed you
OH, MY GOD, CARA
That’s not sexy!
Imagine it in a sexy voice
You give terrible advice
A sexy growl
I’m going to go now
I missed you babyyyyy
Say it like that
All sexy
Mike says “Don’t say baby”
Sophie?
Fine, you’ve gone. Off with your new famous friend.
Whatever. I don’t care.
OMG DON’T FORGET TO KISS HIM AT MIDNIGHT
CHAPTER THIRTY-THREE
I skip the dinner. We arrive much too late anyway and, while it’s important that Cordelia goes to see everyone to salvage what’s left of the evening, I’d rather not face the family for the first time during such an intimate event. I don’t want Lord and Lady Meade to feel awkward in front of their guests about everything that’s happened, and I still feel terrified at the idea of seeing Tom. It’s best for everyone if I have a quiet night hiding in my bedroom.
On the drive, Cordelia and I talked about how we were going to handle the Emily/Sophie situation and she put forward the solution of only telling those who needed to know. She wasn’t particularly embarrassed about explaining my job to certain people. Hopefully, she said, most of the guests won’t remember my name.
“We can introduce you again as Sophie and they’ll feel embarrassed that they thought your name was Emily.”
“I suppose most of them know me simply as the bridesmaid/escort.”
“Quite a cool alter ego, if you ask me. Very mysterious. You’re welcome.”
