The box was addressed to his stepdaughter, but Nic didn't see any reason why he couldn't open it and let her know what it was. He'd planned on texting Amanda, but the moment he pulled the sex toy out of the box, his forgot about it completely, too busy thinking about Amanda stretched out on her bedsheets and enjoying herself. The only thing that pulled him out of it was the sound of something hitting a table and he wasn't even surprised to see Amanda there, , skin flushed a fetching shade of pink. "Your package showed up," Nic announced without shame, holding the sex toy aloft as he approached her. "Not what I expected when I opened up the boys. Those boys that are always flocking around aren't taking care of you?"
"you... you shouldn't have opened that. you really didn’t see the big label on the front with my name on it and not yours?" it's a rather feeble argument in the grand scheme of things and amanda knows it, but what else can she say right now? if the ground suddenly opened up and swallowed her whole, she would have no objections. her mother finding the package would've been embarrassing enough, but she could've talked her way out of that; woman to woman. nic, on the other hand... "no, this isn't about them. or you, for that matter. can you just... give it to me and we can forget this ever happened? please?"
