### Chapter 1
“You’re late,” my older sister, Adelyne, said. She was bouncing on her toes, her arms crossed over each other, trying to keep warm. Her black adidas gym bag was draped over her shoulder. “They’re waiting.”
I shuffled through my gym bag and suitcase in the trunk of my car, taking out one of the items and stuffing it deep in my suitcase.
Adelyne wrinkled her nose at me and gazed at the clothes that were now hiding the second vibrator that I had bought this week. “That’s why you were late?”
I zippered up the suitcase and pulled it out of the trunk. “Yes.” Her cheeks flushed but mine didn’t. There was no use trying to hide it. I wasn’t embarrassed. I – voluntarily – hadn’t been touched by a man in weeks – since Oliver so I needed it.
“What’s the rush anyway?” I asked, throwing my backpack around my shoulders and maneuvering my suitcase onto the cracked concrete. Adelyne smiled wickedly at me, her dark brown locks blowing against the hood of her forest green Columbia coat. I rolled my eyes. “Not this again. Addie, I already told you that I’m not interested.”
