we?”
    “I believe we shall,” Megan answered, clapping her hands with delight.
    Two hours later, the pair were sitting at the dining table, eating supper and giggling hysterically.
    “God, I’ve missed you, Megan,” Harper said, after she finally recovered from their latest bout of laughter.
    “I’ve missed you too,” Megan answered. “I can’t remember the last time I laughed this hard. I bet it was when you came to visit in the summer.”
    “Me too. I just never get this silly with my new friends. They just aren’t the same, somehow,” Harper said. As she spoke, her cellphone buzzed. “Speaking of new friends, I think we should start getting ready. I wish we could hang out here, but I have to put in an appearance tonight.”
    Megan wrinkled her nose. “Should I really go with you? I could just stay here and hit the sack early.”
    “Are you kidding me? No way! It’ll be fun, I promise.”
    “It’s just that it’s a work function for you and I don’t want you to feel like you have to babysit me all night.”
    “I will be happy to have you with me! Besides, I could never live with myself if I let you miss out on all the men!” Harper gave her a wide-eyed grin.
    “I am NOT interested in the guys, so give it up already,” Megan responded.
    “Oh, fuuucck! Don’t go all dull on me now.”
    “Hey, I’m here to dance and drink and laugh and fully enjoy not being responsible for anyone, but I
really
don’t need to bone some stranger while I’m here.”
    “Yeah, you do!”
    “Oh, fuck off!” Megan exclaimed, pushing Harper playfully on the arm as they stood to get ready.
    “Oh, you’re
so
going to get laid while you are here. That’s a promise!” Harper laughed as she walked down the hall to her room.
    “Am not! So forget about it already!” Megan called back to her.
    Megan opened the new suitcases and selected a sleeveless, black, jersey-knit minidress with an asymmetrical neckline that showed off her shoulders and willowy arms. She tossed it on the bed and quickly took a shower, then dried her hair. She put it up in a twist at the back, leaving a few pieces framing her face. A minute later, Harper walked in, fully dressed and ready to go.
    “You’re fast!” Megan exclaimed.
    “You learn to be when you’re in my line of work. Let me do your makeup,” Harper said, holding up her cosmetics case.
    “Okay, thanks.” Megan smiled at her friend.
    She sat on the bed while Harper worked on her quietly, paying careful attention to every detail.
    “You really are beautiful, Meg,” she commented. “You totally could have been a model if you had wanted.”
    Megan rolled her eyes. “Sure, sure.”
    “I’m serious. I know what I’m talking about. You’re gorgeous and you have a smokin’ hot bod too.”
    Megan shrugged. “I know. I’m the shit.” The pair giggled at her tongue-in-cheek response.
    “Okay, time for the big reveal. Go look in the mirror!” Harper watched excitedly as her friend turned to see herself.
    “Wow! How did you
do
that? I look hot!” Megan turned back to her friend, her face shining with pride. “I never knew I could wear red lipstick. I thought I’d look like a clown.”
    Harper handed her the lipstick, then started to pack up her makeup case. “You just need the right shade. Keep it.”
    “Well, I’ll use it for tonight, anyway.” Megan dropped it into the clutch she had been given earlier in the day, then looked up at her friend. “Harper, thank you
so much
for this trip and the clothes and the luggage. I hate to admit you were right, but I really did need this. It’s been a long time since I’ve treated myself to more than a good book and some cheap wine,” Megan said as she put her cellphone into her clutch.
    Harper put her arm around her friend and gave her a squeeze. “I know, sweetie. If anyone needs to be spoiled, it’s you. You’ve worked so hard being everything for Elliott for the past seven years. You need to find Megan the woman
