“It’s more about Logan than her.”

“Does Logan not like to be touched?”

“No, she does,” Rory replied and looked over at Logan again. “Trust me, she does.”

“O-k-a-y… I’m still confused, then.”

“It doesn’t matter,” Rory said, shaking her head. “The neighbor was rude, which I expected, and Logan told her to knock it off. We talked about it once we got inside. Logan wants to move as soon as she can. I don’t really care about the stupid neighbor, but then I thought about how much sex Logan has had. She’s seven years older than me and wasn’t exactly a virgin when we met. We were in bed, and everything was amazing, but when we ordered food, Logan got out of bed to get it and went to grab a new pair of underwear from the drawer, and I caught sight of something else in there. I didn’t say anything, but now I don’t know what to do.”

“Something else?”

Rory leaned in and whispered, “A strap-on.”

“Oh.” Enid laughed. “That’sit? I thought you were going to say she had handcuffs or a whip or something.”

“What?!” Rory asked loudly. “No. It was a harness, and thethingwas next to it.”

“Thething?” Enid couldn’t help but laugh a little again. “I know you know what it’s called.”

“I’ve never used one.”

“Not even on yourself?”

Rory shook her head and replied, “I only had sex once with a guy, and let’s just say it didn’t make me crave what we did again, so I’ve never thought to buy one to use on myself. Logan has one, though, and I don’t know if she’s used it on other women or what that protocol is, but I don’t want that thing inside me if it’s been inside someone else.”

“Ah,” Enid said. “Well, a good rule of thumb is to tell her if you even want that so that she knows. If you don’t, you tell her that, too. You can always change your mind later and update her then. I would also tell her that you don’t want to use it if she’s used it with others, and she can go buy another one. You two can always pick it out together, if you want. It can be kind of fun, searching online or going to the store with someone you’re dating to pick out what you want or what they want.”

“You’ve done that?”

“A couple of times,” she said.

“Do you think she’ll wantmeto wear one? I think I’ll just look really weird and not know how to use it.”

“I think you should talk to her about that,” Enid suggested. “Your girlfriend looks like a top to me, so my guess is that she would have no problem being the one to wear it for you and that she probably won’t expect you to wear it for her, but I’d still ask her because just because she doesn’t expect it, doesn’t mean she doesn’t want it.”

Rory nodded and said, “And then we all just pretend it doesn’t look funny, kind of hanging there?”

Enid laughed and said, “Sex looks funny. Think of the faces we make when we–”

“Two burgers,” Logan interrupted them as she put the plates down in front of them. “Refill?” she asked Enid.

“Uh… No,” she replied and looked at Rory, who was blushing like crazy.

“Babe, are you okay?” Logan asked.

“Yeah. Why?”

“You’re bright red.”

“Just warm in here,” Rory lied.

Enid laughed.

“I’m home!” Enid yelled to the house more than to one person.

“Hey, honey,” her dad said from his office.
