"We haven't seen you like this before, Jo," Kim said.
I chuckled nervously. "Yea, I know," I replied. "I don't usually have enough time but..." I paused as I fiddled the ring, unaware that I might be drawing attention to it. "I just figured it wasn't a big deal today, and I did sweat a little."
Kim and Rachel both started to laugh. I looked back at them with a rather perplexed expression on my face. "Oh, no, no, that's not what I meant," Kim said. I continued to look at her with the same confused expression. "I mean it's the first time we've seen you with boobs."
"Yea," Rachel agreed. "You're usually much more flat-chested."
"What?" I asked. "What the hell are you talking about?" I didn't have time to think. If I had, I would have realized what they were saying. Fortunately for me, they didn't let me keep guessing as to their meaning.
"Jo," Kim said, "Or rather Jo-ey, as I normally address you, here's the deal. Rachel and I know all about you and that little ornament on your finger. After all, we have our own." Just then Kim held up her wrist, upon which sat a very plain, brass-looking bracelet. Rachel also gestured to her neck, which sported a necklace that carried the exact same feature as Kim's bracelet. I glanced back at my ring and realized that all three pieces looked exactly the same.
"But how did you..." I started to say but couldn't think of a response. "I mean...what...oh my God, does that mean you know that I--"
"Made me naked on the street?" Kim interrupted. I looked down at my feet and nodded. "Oh, don't get embarrassed," she assured.
I turned off my shower head so that I could hear her better. Rachel and Kim did the same. "So what does all of this mean?" I asked. "You obviously know I'm not really a girl, and...oh, hell, I feel like I'm violating you both!"
I was about to reach for their towels and have them cover themselves up, but Kim's hand grabbed my wrist and prevented me from doing so. "Relax, relax," Kim said, again in a very soothing and reassuring voice. "Come on, let's go talk."
