Chapter 44

“I think I have a plan to kill two birds with one stone,” I offered.

Dara frowned. “No birds. And good luck tossing a stone these days.”

“Figure of speech,” said I. “In any case, it involves dressing up.”

Dara clapped—well, as best she could. “Goody!”

And now Ricky frowned. “Dressing up? In dresses? All of us?”

Poor guy. It was like Sleeping Beauty being kissed awake by RuPaul. “No, Ricky. Just me.” Again Dara frowned. “Sorry, you can dress up, too. But only I have to actually be seen.”

“You lost me,” said Dara.

Ricky raised his hand. “I’ve been lost this entire time.”

I grinned. “Then it’s time to be found, sweeties. Time to be found.”
