"Absolutely"

Katie nods. You hear her take a deep breath. "Fuck it. Let's do it."

"Are you sure?" Nikki says with a little laugh.

"Yes. Yes." Katie's confidence is growing. You're familiar with her confident tone of voice. "Positive. This is a night for just... being crazy right?"

You open your eyes in time to see Nikki nod and smile, and Katie smile back, less nervous than she seemed before. How can this be the thing that makes her less nervous?

Katie takes a position between your legs with Nikki moving out of the way. "What's the trick?" Katie asks.

"There's no trick" Your cousin responds. "You just do it. Just keep telling yourself 'I'm a wild woman'"

Katie nods. She looks at Nikki. She looks at you. You shoot her a look trying to tell her that she doesn't have to do this if she doesn't want to. She shouldn't feel obligated because Nikki is crazier than she is, or because this whole night is crazy. This is naughty by anyone's standards.

She's not having it. She answers your look of concern by sticking out her tongue playfully.

Then she turns to your cousin. "Are you going to stay here and help me out?"

"Nope" Nikki answers immediately.

"No?" Katie is surprised by the answer. "Where are you going?"
