“Exactly,” Karen said, typing on herphone.
Nina sighed and went back to the dressingroom.
“Did Jack tell you about his dating situation?” Karen called through the door. “Either before or after you fuckedhim?”
“Jesus!” Nina hissed. “Would you be a little discreet. What if someone has kids inhere?”
“It’s empty,” Karen said. “And if someone’s kids hear me say fuck, I guarantee it’s not the first or last time the kid will hearit.”
“That’s not your call,” Nina said. “And even if it were, I’m not crazy about everyone at Bergdorf’s knowing the details of my sexlife.”
“Whatever,” Karen said. “So? Did Jack air all his dirtylaundry?”
“No,” Nina said. “But I didn’task.”
“Precisely my point. You didn’t ask, he didn’t tell. Has Liam said anything about dating otherpeople?”
“No, but he’s different from Jack. I feel like he’d want toknow.”
“You can feel anything you want, but that doesn’t mean you need to spill your guts. Did you use a condom withJack?”
“Oh god…” Nina buried her face in her hands, wondering how she came to be in nothing but her underwear talking about fucking and condoms at the age of forty-five.
“Don’t be a prude,” Karensaid.
“You never get to call me a prude again after Saturday night.” Nina had provided more details to Karen than she’d been comfortable with about her night withJack.
“A little rope, some great oral, and some old-fashioned fucking doesn’t make you ready for the red room of pain,” Karen said. “Although I am impressed you let him tie you up your first time out of thegate.”
“Geez, thanks Mom,” Ninasaid.
“How are we doing in here?” Julia’s voice sounded from outside the dressing room. Nina could only hope her appearance was recent and that she hadn’t been listening to the conversation between her and Karen. “Can I get you another size in anything or take somethingaway?”
“Not yet,” Ninacalled.
“I’ll check back in a bit then,” Julia said. “Have you tried the red wrap dress yet? I thought that would look fantastic with your figure andcoloring.”
“It does,” Karen said. “She’s takingit.”
“I haven’t decided that yet,” Nina practicallyyelled.
“I knew it,” Julia said, obviously addressingKaren.
“Will you stop?” Nina said after she was sure Julia wasgone.
“What?” Karensaid.
Nina didn’t have an answer. There was nothing to say when Karen was beingKaren.
Nina pulled on a pencil skirt and twisted it around to zip it before turning the zipper to the back. She flipped through the remaining clothes on the hook and removed a sheer white blouse, the first button starting almost at the bottom of herboobs.
She put it on and stepped out of the fitting room. “I think this shirt is missing abutton.”
Karen looked up from her phone and glanced at the blouse before returning her eyes to the screen. “It makes your tits look great. You have to getit.”
Nina tried a new tactic by ignoring Karen’s outrageousness. “What about theskirt?”
“Eh,” Karen said. “I can take it or leaveit.”
