Chapter 22
Chapter 22 “How did you remain so confident? So steadfast in your resolve?” I ask Evelyn.“When Don left me? Or when my career went down the tubes?”“Both, I guess,” I say. “I mean, you had Celia, so it’s a little different, but still.”Evelyn cocks her head slightly. “Different from what?”“Hm?” I say, lost in my own thoughts.“You said I had Celia, so it was a little different,” Evelyn clarifies. “Different from what?”“Sorry,” I say. “I was… in my own head.” I have…-

Chapter 23
Chapter 23 The morning after, I walked into Evelyn's office, anxiety tightening my chest so much that I could feel the sweat dripping down my back. My thoughts were running wild, making it hard to even focus on the conversation happening in front of me between Evelyn and Grace. As Grace set down a platter of charcuterie, my gaze was glued to the cornichons as I tried to push my nerves away. They chatted about Lisbon’s summer offerings, but my mind was far from the conversation, trapped in the upcoming…-

Chapter 25

She insisted she would come home every weekend, but it felt too risky.She was a single girl, after all. I was afraid the prevailing wisdom erred too close to the question What do single girls have to go home to?So I decided it was the right time to go to France.Harry had some connections to filmmakers in Paris. He made a few calls on the sly for…-

Chapter 26
Chapter 26 I was sent an invitation to see Mick Riva perform at the Hollywood Bowl that fall. I decided to go, not because I cared about seeing Mick Riva but because an evening outside sounded fun. And I wasn’t above courting the tabloids.Celia, Harry, and I decided to go together. I would never have gone with just Celia, not with that many eyes on us. But Harry was a perfect buffer.That night, the air in L.A. was cooler than I had anticipated. I was wearing capri pants and a short-sleeved sweater. I…-

Chapter 28 I wore a cream-colored cocktail dress with heavy gold beading and a plunging neckline. I pulled my long blond hair into a high ponytail. I wore diamond earrings.I glowed. The first thing you need to do to get a man to elope with you is to challenge him to go to Las Vegas.You do this by being out at an L.A. club and having a few drinks together. You ignore the impulse to roll your eyes at how eager he is to have his picture taken with you. You recognize that everyone is playing everyone else.…-

Chapter 29
Chapter 29 For two months, I was living in near bliss. Celia and I never talked about Mick, because we didn’t have to. Instead, we could go wherever we wanted, do whatever we wanted.Celia bought a second car, a boring brown sedan, and left it parked in my driveway every night without anyone asking questions. We would sleep cradling each other, turning off the light an hour before we wanted to fall asleep so that we could talk in the darkness. I would trace the lines of her palm with my fingertips in the…-

Chapter 30
Chapter 30 “You and Celia didn't have any contact at all?” I ask. Evelyn shakes her head. She stands up and walks over to the window and opens it a crack. The breeze that streams in is welcome. When she sits back down, she looks at me, ready to move on to something else. But I’m too baffled. “How long were the two of you together by that point?” “Three years?” Evelyn says. “Just about.” “And she just left? Without another word?” Evelyn nods. “Did you try to call her?” She…-
