“That squished boobs are no fun.” She paused, horrified at what she’d just said. “Um. Ah. I . . . shit. I just said boobs in front of my boss.”
“Sweetheart.”
“And porn. I talked about watching porn in front of my boss!” she wailed.
“You watch porn?” The question came from the doorway.
She closed her eyes. She knew whose voice that was. But she couldn’t look over at him.
“Effie? You okay?” Grady asked, sounding concerned.
“No.”
“Is that why your eyes are closed?” Steele asked.
“I’m trying to pretend that neither of you are here. And if I can’t see you, then you can’t be here. Right?”
“Um, not sure that’s the way it works, sweetheart,” Grady told her gently.
“Is she embarrassed about watching porn?” Steele asked in that deep, loud voice of his.
Why had she never noticed how loud it was until just then?
Probably because he’s never talked about you watching porn until just now.
This was really not awesome.
Find the happy.
There’s got to be something good about this. Right?
Just smile. Everyone will like you better if you smile.
Sure, Nan. She’d get right on to that. After she stopped dying of embarrassment.
Why had she come into work early this morning?
“She’s not embarrassed about watching porn,” Grady started to say.
Nope.
Enough.
She opened her eyes to glare at them both.
There was nohappyin any of this. Just pure embarrassment.
“Will you both stop talking about porn? I do not watch porn. I do not like porn. And I do not want to talk about porn anymore.”
They both gaped at her.
Then Steele smiled. Usually, she liked his smile. It was a gorgeous smile. He was a handsome guy and he was even more attractive when he smiled.
But right then . . . nope, she didn’t like it.
“Just suggesting, Spitfire, that if you don’t want to talk about porn, you should probably stop saying the word porn.”
“Urgh!” She needed to hide. That’s what she was going to do. Hide until they were gone. Closing her eyes hadn’t worked. So hiding would have to.
