idea, especially since you said the one her mother left with her wasn’t meant to be played with.”
“A doll? Hmm.” She put a finger to her chin as if she were giving the matter serious deliberation. “Like the blow-up ones you usually sleep with?”

“Bathe a baby.” They spoke in unison as they passed a counter of plastic baby bathtubs.
They both dissolved in laughter before their gazes met in one heated instant. The mood changed from easy to awkward as quickly as if a cold wind had blown through the department store.
“Did I say something wrong?” Kyle asked, knowing full well what had just passed between them.
But she could play the game as well as he could. “No. Everything’s cool. Let’s just work our way down the list and get out of here.”
“So cool, your face is still red. You really need to loosen up, Ashley. All we did was laugh together. That’s not like having sex.”
“You just never give up, do you?”
He smiled a devastating smile. “Only when I have to.”
But the easy teasing mood was lost. Playing games with Kyle was playing with fire. Step over the line and she’d be involved with him. Get involved with him and she’d be sleeping with him. Sleep with him, and her life would become a complicated, convoluted, giant headache that aspirin wouldn’t touch.
