“So, I heard you and Martin tied the knot recently? And what’s this about you two suddenly being ‘polygamists’ now?”

“No, we’re polyamorous. In an open relationship.”

“Martin? In an open relationship? I didn’t know he had it in him! He’s a real stud muffin now, is he?”

“Oh, no, it’s not him. It’s me. He stays home and is very supportive. Never brings up any complaints.”

“He sounds very… good to you?”

“Brittany, I’m… I’m hurting him. And he just lets me.”

“Heather! Come on in!”

“It’s been too long, Brittany.”

“It sure has.”

“Sorry I couldn’t make it last week.”

“Hey, no worries. You were sick, weren’t you? You’re better now, though, right?”

“Best I’ve been for a long time.”

“Great! Now, come on, I’ll make us some tea and we can chat.”
