“Did you not get butterflies that day?” Della asked.
“Oh, I totally did.”
“So, you wanted to sleep with me, too, then.”
“Obviously. You’re gorgeous.”
Larissa took a few more notes and asked several more questions before their time was up. Then, she thanked them for their time and paid them the money she promised. She’d made sure to ask if they would be fine answering follow-up questions if she had any, to which they’d said yes, and as she watched them leave, Larissa felt good in that moment, happy that she had heard their story. It was a nice feeling, and she hoped she’d have it after every interview.
CHAPTER 6
“What are you doing?” Harlow asked, returning from the bathroom a few minutes after Murphy and Della left.
“Writing.”
“Writing what? Your notes?”
“No, I’m working on a chapter about them.”
“Already? They just left.”
She sat down next to Larissa.
“They inspired me, I guess.”
“I wouldn’t know by the way you kept talking to them about breaking up.”
“I didn’t keep talking to them about breaking up,” Larissa argued as she looked up from the computer.
“Have you saved that?”
“Yes. Why?”
Harlow closed the laptop.
“Hey!”
“Lou, it’s after eight. You haven’t eaten dinner.Ihave not eaten dinner, and I’m starving. Let’s go. You can pull that thing, that seems perpetually attached to you, out when you get home, if you must. Personally, I think you should either get some sleep or work on actual school stuff, but I’m sure I sound like a broken record to you.”
“I don’t feel like cooking.”
“Thank God for that,” Harlow teased. “I don’t, either, though. Want to go out?”
“Diner on Fifth?” Larissa suggested.
“Sure, but you’re buying.”
“Deal.”
“I’m getting the regular fries. You get the sweet potato ones, and we’ll share.”
“Whatever you want,” Larissa replied with a little laugh.
“WhateverI want?” she checked.
“Why?” Larissa asked, lifting an eyebrow at her.
“Because I really want wings from Dave’s.”
