"Someone has been on their best behavior tonight, and I think he deserves a reward," she tells me with a wink.
"Besides, it's been going on a week now, and I haven't had anything 'twixt my nethers that wasn't run on batteries!" Stephanie said.
I laugh at the Serenity reference.
When Mary tries to follow us, I'm thinking I'm getting a new 'sneaky', but Stephanie tells her to stay outside and shoves me into her room.
Once inside, Stephanie starts stripping off her costume, and I do the same to mine. As she meets me on the bed, I notice that she left the door cracked, and Mary is spying on us. I laugh inwardly, wondering if Stephanie had done it on purpose or not. She'd said she still doesn't trust the other woman, and I wonder if this is some kind of test. But whether it's a test for her or me, I don't know.
