    “You haven’t slept with him yet have you?”
     
    “No!” Victoria replied.  “ Barry is a gentleman,” she said.  “Besides, sex is overrated anyway.”
     
    “You’ve been dating the man for over a year, you’re planning on marrying him and yet you still have tested the goods, so to speak,” Laci said, winking at her sister’s blush.
     
    “Don’t even try that.  You’re not the type to sleep around either so don’t condemn me for not doing anything about a physical relationship with Barry,” Victoria said, but she couldn’t look her sister in the eye when she said that, too embarrassed about the conversation.  And there was also the knowledge that she didn’t have any need for a physical relationship with Barry.  It was something that had crossed her mind occasionally when he’d dropped her off after their dates with a chaste kiss, something both of them were satisfied with. 
     
    Laci let out an unladylike snort.  “Yeah, but I’m twenty four.  You’re twenty-eight.  There’s a world of difference there.”
     
    “I’m not sure age has a whole lot to do with sex at either of our ages.  We need to find someone that interests us.”
     
    Laci tapped her finger against her head, thinking about the situation.  “I think you need to meet a man who is more forceful, more masterful.  Maybe then you’ll have sex with someone like that .”
     
    “Laci!  I’ve never heard you talk like that,” Victoria admonished, laughing at her sister’s statement. 
     
    “Well, I was thinking that maybe the reason you’ve been so hesitant with Barry is because you haven’t met anyone that really floats your boat, so to speak.”
     
    Victoria had to laugh at her little sister.  “Well, I don’t know if that’s the case, but thank you for the turn of phrase.”
     
    Both women were quiet for a moment, each lost in their own thoughts.  Suddenly, Laci burst out, “Ok, enough of this melancholy.  This is a celebration.  I’ll b ring out the ice cream and you pop in a mo vie.  We’re doing this in style! ” and she danced into the kitchen to get the ice cream. 
     
    After having huge bowls of ice cream, t hey sipped the rest of the wine and watched movies .  L aci ate two more bowls of ice cream before finally falling asleep on Victoria ’s couch. 

Chapter 4
     
    Victoria woke the next morning, prepared to head in early to her office to try and clean up her projects before her two week notice ended.  She was racing around trying to get ready for work when the phone rang.  She considered not answering it but remembered her conversation with Laci last night about Barry and thought it might be him. 
     
    “Hello?”
     
    “ Victoria ?  This is Jim .  I got your resignation this morning .  Don’t bother coming in to finish out your two week’s notice .  We only like loyal employees here at Global Corp!” he snapped gruffly and slammed down the phone. 
     
    Victoria held the receiver away from her ear and stared at it as if it had grown a head.  For a few minutes, she felt as if she had been fired, but then her shoulders relaxed, her mind cleared and a small bubble of excitement burst within her.  She was free!  Victoria hadn’t realized how much she had hated that job until now. 
     
    Looking around her small apartment, she wanted to step out onto the balcony and yell at the top of her lungs.  She didn’t, of course, since it wouldn’t be appropriate, but she giggled slightly as she put the phone back in its receiver. 
     
    She immediately dropped her purse and rushed over to her still sleeping sister, shaking her shoulder to wake her up.  “Laci!   Wake up! ”
     
    “Wha .. ?” the sleeping woman asked, not bothering to open her eyes. 
     
    Victoria wanted to dance around in her excitement.  She gently shook her sister instead.  “Wake up!  I don’t have to go into work today.  Want to come shopping with me?”
     
    That woke up the
