I swear if you don’t tell me everything that happened, I will make your life a living hell.”
    I did a half-turn over my shoulder and raised an eyebrow at her in disbelief. “And if you made threats in clothing that didn’t have bunnies and dollies all over it, I might be worried.”
    As I finished speaking, she crossed her arms at her chest and glared at me.
    “Hah, hah, hah,” she said.
    While she guffawed, I placed my electric toothbrush back in its charger, switched off the bathroom light and sidestepped my nosy roomie.
    “Oh, no you don’t,” Katy warned as I passed by her.
    As I walked away, I heard her footsteps hot behind me. She made quick little strides, marching down the hall after me like a tiny general.
    Waving her off as I entered my bedroom I declared, “If I told you what happened you wouldn’t believe me, anyway.”
    I spun around and plopped down on my bed. Before I’d even finished moving, I looked up to see Katy standing directly in front of me with her hands on her hips.
    “Try me,” she said.
    I inhaled a deep breath. When she acted this way, there was no stopping her from getting whatever she wanted. I’d get no rest if I didn’t do as she demanded. As I looked up at my bunny-clad best friend, I realized that without her, I wouldn't have this job to begin with. If for no other reason than that, I owed her a recounting of the evening’s events.
    “Fine,” I groaned. “I’ll tell you, but I'm warning you. There’s no happily ever after.”
    About fifteen minutes later, Katy went from a standing position to sitting cross-legged at the knee to at last propping her chin in her hands with her elbows on her knees as I concluded. She hesitated for a moment before speaking and then stirred to life with a sudden flail of her arms.
    “Wait, wait, so you’re telling me that Greyson Sinclair, billionaire playboy, beat up some random guy in line at the club because the guy called you a hooker and then after all that, he invited you back to his hotel room where nothing happened. That’s what you’re telling me?”
    I nodded as she finished. “Yes.”
    “You’re a goddamn liar, Maddie Olsen!” she exclaimed. “You really expect me to believe you resisted someone that hot who did something like he did for you?”
    I shook my head as she finished. “I didn’t resist him, Katy.”
    “What do you mean? You didn’t resist? You said you didn’t do anything with him.”
    “Right. I didn’t.”
    “Hang on, I’m confused,” Katy began, as she pointed her index finger at me. “ You said you didn’t resist but you didn’t do anything with him. That doesn’t make any sense.”
    Falling back into the mattress with a thud, I groaned, “Believe me it’s not like I didn’t want to… Don’t want to… It's just that he…”
    “What?” she said. “He what?”
    “ He didn’t do anything. After we got back to the hotel, he invited me up to his room. I went. Believe me it wasn’t like I resisted, but he never tried a damn thing. All he did was go over his schedule. That’s all. He’s not interested in me. That much is obvious.”
    The chair Katy sat in squeaked as she leaned back in it and roared with laughter.
    I closed my eyes and exhaled. “It’s not funny, Katy. It sucks!”
    After a good ten seconds or so, Katy got up from her chair, walked over and grabbed my arm. Tugging on it, she pulled me into a seated position and then pointed to a mirror across the room that hung on the back of my bedroom door.
    “Maddie, I’ve had to do this twice now! Have you looked at yourself in the mirror? What man, especially a man with the appetite of Greyson Sinclair, wouldn’t be interested in…” she stopped mid-sentence and made a sweeping gesture directed towards my body and then continued, “well, this! ”
    As much as I appreciated what she tried to say, it was obvious my point didn’t come across as I’d hoped.
    “I don’t know, he just wasn’t,” I said with a shrug.
    Her
