“Okay, sounds legit then. Hit me, I’ll see if I have the answer. But I have to warn you, my piping is not great. I made a rose cake once, but it looked like spaghetti.”

Mandy rolled her eyes.

“This person, I’m not saying her name, she slept with this guy she’s known for years, then he ignored her for days—”

“Douchebag.”

“She saw him at a place she goes that sells these little muffins with vanilla—” She embellished to make the story sound real.

“Only you would add detail to a story like muffin frosting. Get on with it, Mandy.”

“Right. She saw him. He said hi, then smiled and left.”

“Bastard.”

“There’s more.”

“I need a mocha latte to go with this cookie. Thinking food.”

Mandy was happy to get behind the coffee machine so she wouldn’t have to face Rory as she lied to her.

“He took her to bed, and it was, so she said, really nice.”

“Really nice? Can’t have been that good if she’d described it that way.”

“She’s hardly going to say more to me.” Mandy steamed the milk while she talked.

“I mean, lemon cream cheese icing is really nice. An orgasm is bone melting.”

“Rory.”

“Don’t be a prude, Mandy.”

She felt her friend’s eyes on her.

“Have you had one?”

“One what?” Mandy concentrated on the coffee.

“An orgasm?”

“Of course.” At least that wasn’t a lie.

“Well, all right. Can I ask who with?”

“Absolutely not.”

Rory muttered something Mandy missed.

“Getting back to my friend.”

“Can you make a unicorn cake?”

“Rory, focus.” Mandy handed her the coffee.

“Right, sorry. But that gold horn has to be hard right?”

“My friend was a virgin, Rory. She doesn’t know whether she should talk to the guy or leave it to him to talk to her. She’s confused and has no clue of her next move, and let’s face it, I’m hardly experienced on that front either.”
