“Bedded by my Handsome Brontosaurus,” I read, and, had I had coffee in my mouth, I would have spat it out. I turned the book over in my hands and gaped at the copy on the back:Tiffany is a time-traveling paleontologist, but, when she goes back to the Cretaceous period, she gets more than just a crush when she falls for a handsome Brontosaurus.

“Dinosaur erotica is very popular here. It must be the sea air,” Mrs. Devereux said.

“Okay, I’ve heard enough for one day.” Mike took me by the arm and pulled me towards the exit. “In fact, I think I’ve heard enough for an entire lifetime; I’m just going to pretend that none of this happened. Thanks, Mrs. Devereux. Bye!”

“Wait!” she called after us, and we stopped. “Did you findPride and Prejudice?” she asked.

We both turned and then shook our heads.

“I was sure there was a copy, here; it was your grandmother’s favorite book, you know.”

At that, Mike and I clocked each other, as if both coming up with the same idea at the exact same time. We headed back to the counter.
