Claire is just wrapping herself with a towel when Karen appears, her face white as sheet.
"What happened?"
"I'm sorry," Claire says. "I think I forgot to lock the bathroom door. So when your boyfriend…Well…"
Karen's eyes went round. "Did he see you?"
Claire could barely nod. "I think so."
"Everything?"
"Everything."
"Even…down there?"
Claire nods, expecting Karen to burst into hysterics. But then Karen doubles over, and for a moment Claire thinks Karen's having some acute stomach ache, but then she sees Karen's face contorted in laughter.
"Oh my God," Karen manages to blurt out through the giggling fit, "You've just been devirginized, Virgin Claire! Finally a man has seen you!"
"Are you serious? That was your boyfriend!"
"So what," Karen says, still trying to control her laughter. "Oh my God, Claire. Normally I would be angry, but it is YOU. There's no harm in letting you have some exposure. It is high time!"
