CAL: Get it girl
BEA: Cal I’m going to text you about shirt ideas

I dropmy phone on the table on a disbelieving laugh and cover my face with my hands. This is why I hadonefriend before moving here.
It’s also worth noting that I never would have talked about this stuff with anyone before either, probably because therewasn’tanything to talk about.

LANA: Remind me why I have friends other than you?
I checkand triple check the message is headed to Amara before hitting send.
AMARA: Because I’m exceptionally boring and will die alone with lots of dogs
AMARA: Also why?
LANA: I sent my orgasm count to the book club chat
AMARA: #queen #winning #hero
LANA: I hate you
AMARA: They loved it didn’t they
LANA: They did—but it’s not like I share that stuff
AMARA: Well now you know you can—that’s a good thing babe
AMARA: Also what’s your ‘in one night’ count?
LANA: Four
AMARA: You’re a goddess and I need your secret
LANA: There’s nothing to tell except you need to find a man who is dedicated to seeing how many orgasms he can pull from you
AMARA: That sounds heavenly
AMARA: Does he have a brother?
LANA: He does, but I think you’ll have to come to Blackstone Falls to find out.
AMARA: I’ll think about it
Grinning,I pull a mug from the cabinet and make myself a cup of tea. Amara will never leave Nashville, but maybe I canconvince her to come visit. The thought makes me smile, like maybe seeing that I broke the cycle of unhappiness, she can too.
It’s a conversation for later because right now I have a book to read and the couch is calling my name.
