And if I do get undressed, I’ the door this time

I had no idea a irl like that

Deciding I ht just take him up on his offer of a hot shower, I make my way back out to his office to ask about the towels

My groaning belly re to eat too Even just a cup of coffee would be great right now

Don’t get too cozy, Brynn Shower, act nice, and be grateful Then leave

This place isn’t where you belong

I try to ignoreabout how bad I look, how this must be some kind of setup or practical joke

The office is empty

I call out as loud as I dare, wondering if he’s maybe behind another hidden door someplace, but there’s only silence

Her painted face, nails, and six-inch heelsthat’s stepped out of a box in a toy store

I clearto s a seizure

“Hi I was just” I start, startling Malibu Barbie when her whole look changes

That vacant, glassy-eyed expression shifts to sooes vacant

She presses a button on one of the half dozen phones on Pearce’s desk and holds her hands up, pal me

“Alright, alright… Just Stay Cal voice backing up a few steps as I scrunch my face in a question

“Huh?” I ask “I was just gonna ask where the towels are,” I explain Wondering if there’s so with this woman mentally as well as physically
