“I didn’t know it until just this moment. But they’re so similar to clowns. And clown penises,” she added in a whisper.

I laughed and grabbed her hand. We ran past the mime and for some reason we kept running. Until we were both out of breath from laughing.

“I have to add mime penis to the list,” she said as she tried to catch her breath.

“What is this list? Is it the same one as whatever list Incident #8 is on? Speaking of which...what are the other incidents?” I had so many questions.

“They’re separate lists,” she said very seriously. “And you’re not allowed to know about the other incidents. Because they’re unspeakable.”

“You do realize that I have ways of extracting information out of you.”

She pulled her eyebrows together. “Magical ways? You wouldn’t.”

“No. Not magical.” I tickled her side.

“Ah! Stop!” But she just laughed harder.

“Tell me about the incidents and I’ll stop.”

“Never!”

I started laughing too. “Just tell me.”

“I can’t.”

I kept tickling her.

“Fine! Fine! Gah!” She somehow ducked under my arm. “Fine,” she said again. “But...don’t look at me while I go through them. Seriously, turn around.”

“As you wish.” I turned around so I couldn’t see her.

“And just remember. You asked for this. God, you’re never going to look at me the same. But...here it goes. Incident #1. AKA the Incident. AKA the OG Incident. I went on a blind date with Matthew Caldwell and set his pants on fire.”

I chuckled. “I’ve heard all about that one.”

“You’re not allowed to have reactions to the incidents. Stay quiet.”

“My lips are sealed.”

“Incident #2: Raping Dr. Lyons during a doctor’s appointment because I thought it was a Society date.”

Um...what?

“Incident #3: There was an elevator nudity thing. Not a big deal when taking all the incidents into consideration. Although I’ll die if I ever see that man’s face again. I curtseyed. Whatever. Actually, the blueberry pie thing almost made it as #3, but Raven Black doesn’t have incidents.”

I smiled remembering her knocking the pie right into my face before our first date. She thought I hadn’t seen her.

“Incident #4: Projectile vomiting on Dr. Lyons’ shoes.”

Why did so many of these involve Anthony Lyons?

“Incident #5: Raping Dr. Lyons AGAIN.”

How often do the two of them hang out?

“Incident #6: Falling off the side of the yacht half naked after confessing my love for you.”

I smiled. I loved that.
