   Summary

   “Hello again, Carol,” the woman says, and sits.
   Carol suddenly has no idea what to do with her hands, and just says hello back. Like a robot, or someone who has only just learned what the word hello means in English.
   “Sorry, did no one tell you I would be here? I must have looked so strange to you walking in like this.”
   That must have been what Val was saying last night. The book cover model was coming to the reading. The book cover model has been tasked with doing the big speech Raban has in the middle of the book, and Val wanted to run it by Carol first. The book cover model is a woman and they’ve been putting her in Raban drag to shoot the covers rather than getting another man to do it. Goddamnit. She has to start paying attention during Val’s fucking phone calls.
