I frowned at her strange comment then blustered ahead. "So anyway, this bidder… he’s bid a lot of money for me."

"For your virginity," she repeated, as if still wrapping her head around the news.

“Yes. Do you want to know how much he’s bid for it?” I couldn’t keep the amazement out of my voice.

Remi’s eyes half-lidded, like she was running all out of patience. "Go on."

I pressed my lips together. "Guess."

“Are you kidding me? This is too much, Rose. I don’t want to play.”

I ignored her eye roll. “Go on, guess.”

She sighed and fell back in her chair throwing her arms up in the air. “I don’t know, five hundred quid.”

“Higher.”

Her eyes narrowed. “Eight hundred.”

“Higher.”

Her fingers curled round the arms of her chair. “A thousand?”

“Higher.”

“Rose, really? Okay, two thousand.”

“Higher.”

“Fuck. How much, Rose?”

“One hundred. Thousand. Pounds.”

She stared at me, motionless, her jaw slack. "What?"

“A hundred grand,” I clarified.

Remi didn’t move for nearly a minute.

"You okay Rem?"

"Um yeah.” She reached for her phone. “What is this website? Are you sure it’s not a hoax?”

“Are you saying I’m not worth a hundred grand?”

“Oh God, Rose, no. That’s not what I’m saying at all. And you’re worth more than that anyway. You’re… you’re priceless. I’m thinking maybe…”

“You’re not a virgin,” I reminded her.

She paused and chewed her lip. “This is true.”

Wringing her hands together, she frowned. “So, you’re going to go through with it?”

“If he pays up.”

She nodded, still frowning as if deep in thought. “Okay. Make sure you get the money first. Tell me exactly where and when it’s happening. Take a can of mace.”

I laughed lightly. “Okay, okay.”
