Betty told me you were coming to town again. I almost stumbled off the edge of the pool in shock. It was such a hot day, I thought the sun might have gotten to her head. Fried up her words like an egg on sizzling pavement and sent the wrong ones out her mouth. But she insisted, and said I hadn’t seen the paper.I told her that was ridiculous.

She’d grown up wealthy enough that getting a bachelor's degree from a good school was a mere formality. She met a tall, similarly minded man when she was twenty, entered into a loveless but cash-flush marriage, and never had to use her degree for more than decoration. She jetted off to St. Bart’s every year and had three beautiful homes and two gorgeous, blonde children, a boy and a girl. She hadn...
