“Well, that would have been nice information to share before I accidentally walked in on him half naked.”
She bursts out laughing.“Your face must have been priceless.”
“It was mortifying.”
“Was it, though?”
“Yes.”
“Or was it educational?”
I stare at her.“You’re impossible.”

“I was just thinking,” I say.
