What could Gary possibly be up to? ‘You don’t think he got, you know, turned on seeing you with another guy, do you?’ Ashlee asked after a momen... or so of silence. ‘Huh?’ ‘You know,’ Ashlee said. ‘Maybe he got turned on seeing you with another man.’ Another silence ensued. Julie didn’t really think that could be the case. Or could it? ‘I’m sure you’ve heard of guys that get off on watching their women with other men, right?’ ‘I guess,’ Julie answered, not really sure if she had or not. ‘Come. ”“Yes.”“But I shouldn’t say ‘just’ the sex, either,” Emily told me, her face reddening a little with embarrassment. “The sex with Roger turned out to be ... important to me.”“Of course it was,” I said.“How old are you?” Emily asked me suddenly.“I’ve just turned twenty-three,” I said.“My God!” She seemed truly embarrassed. “Here I sit, telling a twenty-something my innermost secrets.
