“Naomi’s gay?” Josh asked.
“Well, I sort of assumed so,” I said. “You know, she’s always talking about women’s rights and drinking weird beverages and ‘forgetting’ to put on a bra.”
Josh laughed. “And that makes her a lesbian?”

“In that case, I think I’m ready for a break, too.” I smiled and led Josh to the bedroom.
