"Sorry, couldn't sleep."

"Join the party," Kate invited. "We were planning our future."

"Oh." With a soft, secret smile, Laura knelt on the rug. "That's nice."

"Hold on." Eyes sharp, Margo shifted and took Laura's chin in her hand.
After a moment's study, she let out a breath. "Okay, you didn't do it
with him."

Flushing, Laura batted Margo's hand away. "Of course I didn't. Peter
would never pressure me."

"How do you know she didn't?" Kate demanded.

"You can tell. I don't think you should have sex with him, Laura, but if
you're seriously thinking marriage, you'd better try him on first."

"Sex isn't a pair of shoes," Laura muttered.

"But it sure as hell better fit."

"When I make love the first time, it's going to be with my husband on
our wedding night. That's the way I want it."

"Uh-oh, she's got that Templeton edge in her voice." Grinning, Kate
tugged on a curl falling over Laura's ear. "Unbudgable. Don't listen to
Margo, Laura. In her head, sex is equated with salvation."

Margo lit another cigarette. "I'd like to know what tops it."

"Love," Laura stated.

"Success," Kate said at the same time. "Well, that sums it up." Kate
wrapped her arms around her knees. "Margo's going to be a sex fiend,
you're going to search for love, and I'm going to bust my ass for
success. What a group."

"I'm already in love," Laura said quietly. "I want someone who loves me
back, and children. I want to wake up each morning knowing I can make a
home for them and a happy life for them. I want to fall asleep each
night beside someone I can trust and depend on."

"I'd rather fall asleep at night beside someone who makes me hot." Margo
chuckled when Kate poked her. "Just kidding. Sort of. I want to go
places and do things. Be somebody. I want to know when I wake up in the
morning that something exciting is right around the corner. And whatever
it is, I want to make it mine."
