'Thank your
lucky stars you were born plain-looking, Chloe love. Your gift is being
smart and sensible. Don't ever let that desert you.' "

Kate shook her head and smiled with a deep, caring love for her friend
of more than two decades. "Sounds to me our little Chloe finally proved
her grandmother wrong."

Julia scoffed. "If the woman weren't already dead—"

All three made the sign of the cross.

"—then she should be shot."

"Stop, stop. Grandmother loved me. She kept me after my mother died—"

Julia and Kate sighed, then Julia continued the story they all knew so
well. "She raised you, supported you, loved you after your father
disappeared. Which reminds me, now that your father has found you again
all these years later, is he ever going to move out of your house?"

"Julia, my father is no trouble. I'm glad he's staying with me."

"Fine, fine, not a word against Regina Sinclair or Richard Maybry.
Besides, your grandmother also said that men 'lie, cheat, and leave.' I
happen to agree with her on that."

"Julia!" Chloe and Kate exclaimed.

Julia didn't pay them any mind. She smiled and leaned forward. "Tell us
every little detail about last
night. What's his name? What does he look like? Are you going to see
him again?"

Chloe winced again, then answered the questions in the order they were
presented. "I don't know. Dark hair, dark eyes. When I was dashing out
the door; I didn't say goodbye, much less ask for another date.
In fact, I left so fast that I forgot my purse—or rather your purse,
Julia. I'll get you a new one."

"I'm not worried about the purse." Julia smoothed her already smooth
hair with her delicate hand, her perfect nails glittering like bright
pink jewels. "I'm just trying to understand. Are you telling us you
nearly had sex with a stranger for no other reason than you wanted to
have sex?"

Chloe knew she couldn't lie, no matter how distasteful it was. "Yes. I
mean, it just hit me. I wanted to have sex. Though not with just any
man. With that man. Something about the way he looked at me, or maybe
it was the way his body protected mine from the wind. Or maybe because
he cleaned sand and
grit out of my arms and knees." She pulled back her long sleeves and
held up her arms as proof, exhibiting the angry scrapes.

Kate and Julia ewwed appropriately.

"It was like I let go and didn't have to think because I didn't know
his name and he didn't know mine
and I'd never see him again." Chloe hung her head. "There it is."

Julia banged her jeweled hand on the table. "Brava!"

Chloe's head came up. "What?"

"Good job. Though I hope you were on the verge of pulling out a condom
for the main event."

"I don't carry condoms!"

"Then you better start if this is going to become a habit. It's a big
mistake if you don't. Oh, and maybe you should borrow some of those
sexy sex products that Kate used on that segment of Getting Real the day she decided to
go crazy herself and be sexy." Julia tilted her head in thought. "There
must be something in the air."

Kate blushed, though she looked more than a little pleased with
herself—or perhaps she was just pleased with the outcome of that
disastrous show. As well she should be. She ended up with the love of
her life.

"This is not going to become a habit!" Chloe blurted. "In fact it will
never, I repeat never, happen again. There will be no sex products, and
there certainly will be no big mistake!"

Julia's gaze danced wickedly. "Speaking of big . . . did you get far
enough along to find out if he was,
you know, big?"

Kate bit her lip to keep from laughing. Chloe blinked, her mouth
opening and closing, unable to find words to respond.

Julia and Kate glanced at each other, then laughed out loud. "She's
back," they stated in unison.

"What's that supposed to mean?"

Julia patted her hand. "Just that our sweet Goody Two-shoes has
returned, every trace of wild woman gone."

"Exactly," Chloe stated. "Every trace is gone."

And it was true. Her well-ordered world had
