But after this one night, freshman year of college, where my brand-new roommate ended up holding the garbage can while I puked from the top bunk in our dorm room, I haven’t been able to touch the stuff again.” “I’m sure Seven Sinners is the best there is, which is why I can market the hell out of it. I pretend to cross myself like I’m a priest and she sinned in my presence. Her teeth catch her bottom lip, and she looks at me with a sheepish expression. Which is why I brought the celebration to you.” She produces a bottle of champagne from behind her back. Something I no longer have the freedom to do. I figured after our victory today, you’d be out celebrating.” I call out for whoever it is to enter, and Temperance pokes her head in. It’s not him, I tell myself as I force my body to relax. My shoulders tense immediately, and I squeeze the edges of my desk. It’s after seven when someone knocks on my office door. The longer I stay here, the longer I can put off following another one of his orders. I can’t concentrate on anything except the sex toy that I washed in my small connected private bathroom, wrapped in a paper towel, and shoved in my purse-after I spent nearly an hour removing the henna.įive o’clock comes and goes, but I don’t leave the office. I don’t know why I even bother attempting to work for the rest of the day.
