a guy, is it? Is it an ex?”
    I am literally saved by the bell. The door jingles open and I lavish more attention on the browsing woman who enters than is probably good for business.
    Two hours later, standing before my closet, I’m still baffled about what to wear. It’s tough because I want to look sexy, but I don’t want to make too much effort lest I hurt Jay’s feelings.
    He wanders into the room. “What are you going to wear?”
    “Hell if I know,” I say, tossing my hands up.
    “He’s a guy. He won’t really notice.”
    I pout at him. “Tell me what to wear.”
    “A chastity belt,” Jay says. I study him carefully and he cracks a smile. “What about that polka-dot dress you have?”
    “Don’t you think a dress is too dressy?”
    “I think you should look smoking hot,” he says.
    “Really?”
    Jay nods and starts flipping through the hangers. “I mean, the whole point of tonight is sex, right?”
    “Well, not actual sex.”
    “You should look sexy,” he says and pulls out a couple dresses.
    “Are you sure?”
    He tosses the candidates across the bed and turns to me, puts his hands on my shoulders. “You know what I said the other night, about this turning my crank?”
    “Yeah.”
    “Well, it still does. We’ve decided to go through with this, so if you’re going to do it, do it right. You want my Neanderthal reasoning?”
    I nod.
    He rubs his thumbs over my collarbone. “I want you to look insanely hot. Then, in a year or whenever, I want to invite that asshole to our wedding so he has to watch you marry me. And I want him to go nuts with jealousy, knowing what I get and he doesn’t.” Jay smiles, pure evil.
    “Patrick’s not an asshole,” I remind him.
    “Trust me, Robin—he’s agreed to screw around with my girlfriend. He’s an asshole.”
    “You said you think he’s an okay guy.”
    “He is, but he’s an asshole too.” Jay kisses my forehead. “Now get dressed and go drive that douche bag out of his mind.”
    * * * * *

    Jay’s enthusiasm aside, I don’t go so far as to make dinner for myself and Patrick. It didn’t feel right, using our groceries and kitchen to accessorize my infidelity, just as I wouldn’t have gone out and bought a new outfit for the occasion. Instead I drive to an upscale deli and buy some rotisserie chicken and Thanksgiving-type sides and grab a six-pack from the plaza’s liquor store. I get to Patrick’s place ten minutes early. I ring the bell, a paper bag of good-smelling food in each hand.
    He opens the door and smiles. “Hey, Robin.”
    “Heya.”
    He lets me in and I’m glad to be inside since it’s November and I’m wearing a dress and no stockings. My Mary Janes are stiff from the cold, their leather cutting into the backs of my heels. I set the bags on his little kitchen table.
    “I have beer in the car too.”
    I catch Patrick blushing. “I bought wine. I didn’t know what you’d want this to be like.”
    I try not to smile but I do. “This can be however we want it to be. And I’d love some wine. I’d love a lot of wine, actually. I’m a little terrified.”
    While I take my coat off Patrick goes to a cabinet and pulls out a bottle, a middle-shelf Australian red with a penguin on the label.
    “That’ll be nearly enough for me,” I say, pointing at it. “What are you drinking?”
    He looks over his shoulder as he winds the corkscrew in. “You really that scared?”
    “I’m mostly teasing. But I am pretty nervous.”
    He tugs the cork out with a foomp . “Sorry if this’ll kill the mood, but how’s your man dealing with all this?” He finds two tumblers and pours us each a healthy glass, hands me one.
    “Thanks.” I follow him to his living room and look around before I answer his question. He’s remarkably tidy but not quite so much that I worry about his mental health. Patrick’s got lots of bookshelves and lots of books, which surprises me for some reason. Not that he doesn’t seem smart or
