Summary
“Constance emailed me,” Helen’s eyes are still on the traffic. “Red-flagged, high priority. It’s actually a great opportunity—and you know that those deep dive profiles I usually write are basically my bread and butter—so I feel flattered that she chose me. Under any other circumstances I would be excited, but…”
Val’s interest is instantly piqued by the words deep dive profile. “But what?” She slides her sunglasses down, looking at Helen over the rims. “I was just about to say congrats. So, where’s the catch?”
“Sturka. Carol fucking Sturka is the catch.”
✄ OR
Helen L. Umstead seemingly has it all: she’s the Fashion Features Director at Vogue and has a beautiful daughter together with her wife and model, Zosia Kawiecka.
Well, soon-to-be-ex-wife, that is. And on top of that, Helen now has to write a feature on New York’s most notoriously difficult designer, Carol Sturka.
Given their messy past, will they keep things strictly professional, or will their unresolved history bleed into a headline of its own?

Summary
Newly flush with cash from the success of Wycaro, Carol and Helen decide to upgrade their wheels. Helen is dead set on haggling them down to a reasonable price.
Wifely banter and a test drive at the Land Rover dealership.
-
“You don’t haggle for a luxury vehicle, Helen. They’ll see right through us.”“O ye of little faith.” She tsk-tsks, “Ten bucks says they throw in a free coffee mug and complimentary tire rotations for life when I’m through with ‘em.”

Summary
Helen needs a cigarette and Carol needs a drink.
Two women stuck in a tin can 30,000 feet in the air, nothing to distract themselves from their respective vices but a shared vice, one that lies just under the thin Wayfarer blanket draped across their laps.
“What are the entrance requirements of the Mile High Club? Will a quick finger-bang get you in or does it need to be in the bathroom to qualify? I just wanna know if we’re gonna have to fold ourselves in half six times like an origami crane.” Carol leans over her armrest, eyebrows waggling in Helen’s direction.

“Aww, what’s the matter, Carol?” Helen shakes her head from side to side, Carol’s neck boneless all of a sudden. “Where’s all that fight you had earlier?”

Summary
Carol froze, silently deciding her next move. She could break free now, go indignantly mope in the house for a few hours while Helen got blitzed, or she could listen to the birdbrained woman in their hot tub, who was quite frankly almost always right when it came to matters of her temperament.
