“Peachy.”
 
 “Have a good time?”
 
 “Yes.”
 
 I’m golden. She won’t break me.
 
 She takes a sip from her tea. “You and Dom get on okay?”
 
 I’m drowning in my own sweat. “We got it on okay—or, what I actually meant to say was we got on just fine.”
 
 “Lovely.”
 
 “Quite.”
 
 “Indeed.”
 
 “Totally.”
 
 “His bed is really soft, isn’t it?” she asks innocently.
 
 “I wouldn’t know,” I say. “I slept in the spare room.”
 
 “Did you?”
 
 “Sure did.”
 
 “So, Ben’s room.”
 
 Oh fuck. “Yes.”
 
 “You slept in Ben’s room.”
 
 “Yeah.”
 
 She laughs. “In his racecar bed, huh?”
 
 Son of a bitch! Did he have a racecar bed? “I pretended I was driving really fast,” I told her, spilling my tea all over myself.
 
 “Did you?”
 
 “Yes.”
 
 “Fascinating.”
 
 “I agree.”
 
 “Tyson?”
 
 “Yes?”
 
 “Ben doesn’t have a racecar bed. It’s just a normal bed.”
 
 “You liar!” I shout at her.
 
 “You little shit!” she says with a grin. “So it finally happened, huh?”
 
 “I have no idea what you mean.”
