Ch 20 Market Research 

Thea and Misty talked as they drove. The first bar was about three hours away. It was the middle of the day, so it wasn’t busy, but they ordered some appetizers and got a feel for the place. 

The next bar was another thirty minutes away, and it only took them a minute inside before they realized it catered to men. Only men. Men who liked to have sex in specific ways.

They got back in the car and started laughing. “The looks we got when we walked in!” Misty said between laughs.

“They were like, ‘you walked into the wrong bar, sister.’” 

“No penis, no entrance.”

They realized the double entendre at the same time and burst out laughing again.

“Oh my goddess, I will never forget that,” Thea said.

They hit a few more bars, and as they were leaving one with a Western theme, Thea heard Misty’s stomach growl.

“Who knows when we’ll be able to get sushi again? We have to, right?” Thea said.
