The two of them walked into the bathroom and got stalls next to each other. Deborah sat and peed. She heard Ami do the same. They finished at about the same time and both of them went to the sink to wash their hands.
“I couldn’t help but notice,” said Ami. “Are you wearing a diaper?”
Deborah’s face felt warm again. She was wearing a pull-up in case Flower’s uncle appeared. “It’s a pull-up she whispered. It’s for just in case. I don’t use it during the day.”
“I was just curious,” said Ami. “It is less noticeable than a wet spot on your pants, I guess.”
“That’s not even funny,” said Deborah. She remembered the spreading warm wet spot expanding on the front and back of her pants that streaked her jeans when she and Lia were at the movie theater. She did not want to experience that again.
“But it must have happened to you,” Ami said, “or you wouldn’t be wearing the pull-ups.”
