  1. “It’s your basic confidentiality agreement,” Mr. Rogers spoke softly as he stroked his mustache. “After you sign it, you will be taken to the ship. Once there, you will put on the baby doll pajamas. You will tape lollipops to your arms, and you will smear chocolate pudding into your hair.

Are we clear?” “Yes,” Antoinette replied as she finished signing the document. “But honestly, this isn’t even close to the strangest thing I’ve ever done.

She could listen to music all night or watch re-runs of sitcoms until the morning sun came up.
