Page 30 of Believe it or Knot

Vee:

Answer my question, Sor.

Me:

Um, let’s say it’s unspoken by both parties.

Or not so unspoken, seeing as Liam had confirmed it would only be a sex thing. But they don’t need to know that. I suspect they’ll be offended on my behalf.

Sadie:

I say, Hell yeah, still.

If both sides agree and there’s no chance of catching feelings,

then why wouldn’t you shag the shit out of a celebrity?

Bragging rights and all that.

I gnaw on my lower lip and shake my head, not liking the idea of bragging about having sex with the Cordova pack. I wouldn’t want to tell anyone about it, not in that context. It seems… disloyal or slimy. But then again, to Sadie and Sylvie, this is a hypothetical, so I can see where she’s coming from.

Sylvie:

In this hypothetical situation, would you be able to stay emotionally detached?

Me:

…

No comment.

Sadie:

Shit, really?

Vee:

And there’s no chance of both parties wanting to have an actual relationship?

Me:

I mean, this is all hypothetical,

so I suppose hypothetically it could turn into something more.

Sadie:

Are you going to tell us who this hypothetical situation is about?

Me:

…

No comment.

It definitely won’t, but they don’t need to know that. After all, this is all a practice in hypotheticals.

There’s a long pause in which I get the impression they might be having a conversation without me in their own text chain. I sigh and stare at the beams on my ceiling until my phone buzzes again.
