“Someone wouldn’t let me not say it.”
I huffed, turning away. “It was just a random thing we did, like, almost a year ago. It’s in the past.”
“Almost a—” She did a double take. “Hold on.”
I blanched. “Almost… four years ago, is what I meant to say. I forgot how time works.”
“You did itagain?”
“No!” I hugged my arms under my chest. “Ugh, stop being such a voyeur, EM.”
“Iknewsomething had happened after I’d first moved over to New York. You slept with—”
“Shh.There’s still people. Oh my god. I’ll kill you.”
She leaned in closer, dropping her voice to a fiery whisper. “What, did you take another trip to the lighthouse? Have someone stand you up again?”
“No! Oh my god. We were just hanging out on the boat—”
“On theboat?This time you fucked her on a boat?”
“Oh my god, I didn’t mean to say that. God, you’re nosy.”
“First off, I never thought I’d see a world whereyoucall someone else nosy. Secondly—you expect me to believe that you fuck her twice, years apart, and that there’s still nothing there?”
“Ugh, Emberlynn.” I set the cupcake down, putting both hands on my hips, scowling at her. “Let a girl fuck every now and then! It doesn’t mean anything! Sometimes these things just happen!”
“Just happenand youjust happento record it, too?”
“Hey, I wasn’t the one recording it this time!”
She paled. I paled, too.
“I didn’t mean to say that out loud.”
“I think I’m going to be sick,” she said.
“Please forget I said anything.”
“So now you both have recordings of you two having sex.”
“Shh.I haven’t watched mine in ages anyway.”
“So youdostill have the password.”
“Oh! Um. I, uh, found it… on a sticky note… in the basement…”
“Uh-huh.” She folded her arms. “And didn’t use it to delete the file. Jesus Christ, woman. Just admit you have a thing with her.”
“No! We just… accidentally had sex a couple times, that’sit!”
“Nobodyaccidentallyfingers someone over a lighthouse railing, Paisley, let aloneaccidentallyrecords it.”
“Ugh. It’s not about that, anyway!” I turned away, hunching my shoulders, snatching the cupcake back up. “I just want to hang out with her. Just because we happened to find ourselves maybe having a little sex here and there doesn’t mean we can’t hang out, you sicko.”
“I’m going to pierce my own eardrums so I don’t have to hear you keep talking about this…”
“You keep asking!”
