intellectually stimulating novels as well as the steamy romance. Paige back me up on this.” Katrine pleaded.
    “Yes it’s true.” Paige and Katrine had a two woman book club. Paige was tired of yelling at the other girls for never reading the book selections. So they dropped the book club farce and now they just called it girl’s night out.
    “It’s good to read a sexy romance every once in a while. Most of us are too embarrassed for movies these days, so we read our porn instead,” Paige said matter of factly.
    “Speaking of steamy novels. Have you all read those books all of the suburban wives are wild for? They are supposedly super dirty, even for romance novel standards.” Izzie inquired.
    “Read them.” Paige, Charlie, and Katrine all said in unison.
    They all laughed.
    “Yah, who knew the housewives of America had a hidden longing for bondage and butt plugs,” Paige said with a grin.
    “Hey, I’m sure husband’s across the country want to send that author a Christmas ham, because if their wives are reading those books, they are getting laid! And not the missionary style, “hurry before my show starts”. I mean, nails in the back, biting the pillow kind of laid!” Charlie said, as Paige and Katrine nodded in agreement.
    “Speaking of getting laid... You are now on the single list my friend. And it is time for you to get you some! I’m sure it has been a while, knowing you.” Izzie teased.
    “Yes, you need some hot, no strings attached rebound sex!” Jane chimed in. 
    “Jane!!” Katrine could not believe she just said that.
    “She’s right. Nothing helps you get over a heart break like some amazing, no holds barred sex with a hot guy. You need to get the first one out of the way. That will be the hardest after being with the same guy for so long. Like a Band-Aid—rip it off and get it over with. Then you can focus on healing and all that other crap before you find a new long term relationship, if you choose to go down that road again,” Izzie said. 
     Izzie never did. Short-term serial monogamy was the closest she came to a relationship. She said she had dated too many assholes in her 20s to bother in her 30s. Katrine knew she would cave like the rest of them when she met the right guy.
    “Okay, some tips when you have ‘the rebound sex’... Always put your hands above your head. That will lift your boobs to where they used to be. Presentation is crucial when you are single,” Charlie advised. 
    “Yah, when you are married your husband has to take it as is, or pay for the surgery.” Paige said with a smile.
    “I am a lost cause. After three kids it doesn’t matter where I put my arms, if my bra is off then my tits are in my fucking armpits. Be glad you had Teddy in your twenties Katrine. I am sure yours bounced back just fine. Those of us who waited until our thirties, well let’s just say the body does not bounce back as well, if at all.” Complained Charlie.
    “Come on Charlie. You look great, it can’t be that bad,” Jane said in a doubtful tone.
    “Not that bad, huh? Well what would you call the fact that when I bend over my tits look like an apple in a skin sock?” She paused to gauge their terrified faces. 
    “I think that qualifies as pretty fucking bad.” Charlie said.
    “Well I guess it could be worse... they could look like a grape in a condom.” Jane said with a straight face. They found that hilarious and they all burst into a fit of laughter. Katrine totally forgot about her bad day. Between the drinks, the delicious latin food, and the laughs, her frown was upside down alright.
     

Chapter 8
    They decided to make a night of it and go out dancing. Luckily there was a place a block away from where they had eaten dinner. The girls walked out into the warm night air with a few more drinks in their systems and a few less worries.
    When they made it to the bar, the place was not bursting at the seems quite yet, but it would be soon. The music was loud and the
