were you when you did that? When you first sold sex?”
“Sixteen.”
He hadn’t been on the game all that long then. Megan remembered what she’d been like at sixteen when
the whole focus of her life was school, she had an unrequited crush on the captain of the football team
and her knowledge of sex was still mostly theoretical except for a little fumbling with Ray Marsden at a

“May I ask about your early sexual experiences?” She referred to her list of questions. “How old were
you when you first had sex?”
“Fourteen.” Again, his answer was succinct, and Megan had to ask him to elaborate.
“Kristina Taylor. Eighth grade formal. In back of the gym. Less than five minutes.”
“How did you feel about it?”
“Embarrassed. But she was cool about it and it was better the next time and even better after we’d had
more practice.” There was a hint of humor in his tone despite his blank face.
“When did you realize you were gay?”
“I’m not.”
Megan paused, taken by surprise. “But your clients are male.”

The waitress returned with Mouth’s meal and a soda for Megan, who turned off the recorder.
The boy tore into the burger, his jaws bulging as he chewed an oversize mouthful. He didn’t look at her
as he methodically ate his way through the food, chased by great gulps of soda.
Megan wondered when he’d last eaten.
If it bothered him to be watched, he gave no sign of it, but then anyone who engaged in intimate acts
with strangers on a daily basis must have long ago lost all self-consciousness.
