“That’s true,” she replied, tapping her lip. Her mouth turned up at the corners at the visual I made. “You can’t even line dance.”

“I can’t. I really can’t. Those women who strip, while I haven’t seen any of them perform, have talent. They’re gorgeous and skilled and… I can’t keep up with their waxing regime.”

“I wasn’t suggesting the Pink Pony or waxing your body from the neck down.”

Neck down?

I frowned, waiting for her to continue. She bit her lip.

“Out with it,” I prodded.

“Ever wonder how I pay the bills between working here and ski patrol?”

“Are you saying you want a raise?” I asked.

She rolled her eyes and sighed. “I’m a cam girl.”

I blinked. “What? I don’t know what that is.”

“I sorta strip. Online. In a chat room.”

As if that explained it all.

June nodded, then looked to me, continuing where we left off. “I set up a web cam in my bedroom and I do things viewers want. It’s through a streaming site. Technically, it’s live porn, but I’m alone and I don’t have sex with anyone. The viewers make requests and donate money when I do what they ask for.”

My mind was blown. June.Junestripped in her bedroom.

“Talk?”

Bridget filled one of the coffee mugs at the self-serve coffee urn on the counter and listened in.
