      Chapter 67

      by testsuphomeAdmin Chapter 67 begins with the protagonist walking into her home, feeling both emotionally and physically drained. The weight of the day seems to bear down on her as she instinctively throws her bag onto the couch, her movements almost robotic. She’s tired, angry, and overwhelmed, with her eyes aching as if they've been squeezed dry, a physical manifestation of the mental exhaustion she’s experiencing. Without bothering to take off her coat or shoes, she sits down and, almost mechanically, responds to an…

      Evelyn and Me

      by testsuphomeAdmin Evelyn and Me marks the culmination of a journey I never expected to take. When I first agreed to help the legendary Evelyn Hugo with her memoirs, I couldn’t have known how deeply it would affect me. Her death earlier this year, while we were still in the middle of compiling her life’s story, left me with a sense of unfinished business but also a profound realization. Reflecting on the time I spent with her, I can see that it was filled with moments that were as complex and multifaceted as Evelyn…

      Chapter 32

      by testsuphomeAdmin Chapter 32 The night of the academy awards, Rex and I sat next to each other, holding hands, allowing everyone a glimpse of the romantic marriage we were peddling around town.

It seemed a little too good to be true, the idea of Oscars for people like Rex and me, beautiful movie stars trying to prove they had substance. I got the distinct impression that a lot of people wanted us to stay in our lane. So we…

I wasn’t really at a place in my life where I could fall in love with anyone, and Rex wasn’t the type of man who seemed capable of falling in love at all. Maybe, if we’d met at different times in our lives, we might have hit it off. But with things as they were, Rex and I had a relationship built entirely on box office.It was tacky and fake and manipulative.But it was the beginning of my…

      Chapter 30

      by testsuphomeAdmin 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…

      Chapter 29

      by testsuphomeAdmin 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…

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.
