2. What’s your favourite karaoke song to sing?

3. How do you keep your hair so shiny? It’s mesmerizing.

Alright. Ask and answer questions. She could do that.

1. After seeing my grandmother at her memorial service, I knew this profession was for me. I was nine. She looked so peaceful. Beautiful, even though she was gone. I wanted to make people look that way so their loved ones could be a bit less sad on one of the worst days of their lives.

2. I prefer to laugh my ass off at the people singing karaoke, not be the one singing it. Listening to terrible renditions of pop songs is the perfect way to spend a night.

3. I have a wide array of silk bonnets I sleep in. My mom taught me to use them to protect my hair when I was little, and I never looked back. One of the few decent things she did for me.

Okay. Three questions for you.

1. What made you want to be a psychology professor?

2. How many sweater vests do you own?

3. How old are you? This is probably important to know. Seems like pretty basic information we should have about each other.

1. This is heavy, so I’ll give you the gist. My brother died when I was 16. He was 14. I wanted to learn more about death and dying and became obsessed with finding answers. That led to me getting a degree in Thanatology followed by a Master’s degree in Counselling Psychology. I’m happy I can help people come to terms with such a difficult topic.

2. Please don’t hold this against me. I own 52 sweater vests. Enough for a different one every week of the year.

3. I’m 36 and really hope that’s not too old for you.

I’m sorry about your brother. I can’t imagine how heartbreaking that was to go through, especially at such a young age. It’s good to hear that it led you to discovering your passion. Wait, is teaching about death and dying your passion? Also, I’m going to need to see your closet. You must be lying to me. No man, woman, or child owns 52 sweater vests. That’s an obscene number and I won’t stand for it. And 36? You’re only nine years older than me.It’s not that big of a difference. I won’t hold it against you. Although I wouldn’t mind holding something else against you…

I may need to see you after class next week.

Why? Have I been a bad girl?

From: Brett Monroe

To: Spencer Williams

Not yet, but I have a feeling you’re going to be.

Shit with a capital S. She had no immediate response to that unless a person was to count the pulsing in her cunt. Brett may be helpful, sweet, and positive on the outside, but she was confident he had a bit of a bad boy hiding on the inside. Perhaps that’s why she was drawn to him. Unleashing him would be a fun project, she had no doubt. How on earth was she going to wait two and a half more weeks?
