SHE LISTED OFF ALL THE MEN SHE HAD EVER SLEPT WITH

She listed off all the men she had ever slept with and put a tick next to the good roots and a cross next to the dud roots. Later, she spilled a glass of enchanted cognac on the page, and the good roots magically appeared in the room as sexy phantasms. Shirtless, sexy phantasms. They were all smiling benignly and so happy to see her again. They all seemed pretty happy to see each other too, and occasionally she would have to clear her throat and remind them that she was the one who had summoned them and she would like to be touched right now, right here, yes, yes, just like that.
