Alice closed her eyes, too tired to deal with anything. Pete still sang his greeting on his perch, bobbing to a beat nobody but him could hear.
“I got fired.”
The mood in the room dropped about fifty degrees. Pete stopped bobbing. Candice frowned.
“What happened?”
“Don’t wanna talk about it.”
Candice didn’t ask for more details. She knew better than to do such a thing by now… this wasn’t Alice’s first time being fired, unfortunately. Last time she was let go from a restaurant, it was because she accidentally told a Brazilian delegate that he had nice feet for a chimpanzee. Last time I ever practiced my Portuguese on someone.
Something dinged in the microwave. I never bothered with dinner. Luckily, Candice brought out enough cardboard pizza for the both of them. She also found an episode of Bob’s Burgers recorded on the DVR. Great way to kill the rest of the night before Alice dragged herself to the shower and then bed.
Halfway through their dinner of cheese pizza, Alice turned to Candice and asked, “Do you have any more of that Plan B you got a while ago?”
Candice dropped her paper plate into her lap. “Uh…”
“Yeah, by the way,” Alice continued, watching animated characters get into ridiculous shenanigans on TV. “I lost my virginity tonight.”
