Maddy looked up. “Ohhhh, you’re… got it.” She gave a thumbs up. “Me too, occasionally,” she admitted. “The fluid nature of my sex urges became apparent the minute I saw Cherie Currie in her underwear.” She made another attempt at the spicy Bloody Mary, the Worcestershire sauce of which overpowered the miniscule amount of vodka they’d poured in the glass. “I have an equally powerful attraction to Michael J.
