“A girl we both know,” Maddy said, saving Brian from having to come up with a fitting label, which she wasn’t sure he could do. The pair had left the Funhouse hand-in-hand not too long ago, so they weren’t estranged anymore, but the rest of it was probably a work in progress. “Brian’s seeing her. Things between them are complicated.”
“Not really,” he said, turning his glass in a wet circle. “We’re together. Sometimes we’re with other people, too.”
Maddy raised her eyebrows.
He shrugged. He had not tested any of these new boundaries and he doubted Valerie had, either, because she had promised to tell him when and if that came up. He trusted that she would, and he’d been so ecstatic after their night together that he didn’t feel like questioning anything. He just felt relief because they were okay with each other.
“So Melody, what’s the confidence thing for?” He sipped his water.
