Irreconcilable Difference #91: I am a person, she is a personality. I perform, she's a performer. I have character; she is one I help, she hypes. Shay is twice divorced, thrice engaged, ex-lover to hundreds, fast friend to thousands, adored by the international press corps, and even though she's the gorgeous grandmother of one delicious little girl, she's just forty. Shay behaves like a reckless teenager and gets away with murder.
Natalie's been married for twenty years to one of her sister's cast-off lovers. The marriage is dying of boredom. She's childless, but a wonderful baby-sit- ter, a dutiful daughter, dependable. She has the thankless job of cleaning up after her sister. Natalie acts her (middle) age.
Jealousy #33: I am jealous of Shay's looks, her career, her zingy clothes, her passionate pursuits, her notori- ety. I am jealous of all the movers and shakers she knows and all the lovers she's had, who by now must number well into three digits.
Shay's just stolen the news story that could mean the end of her life. scoop But someone's just stolen Natalie's car with Shay's scoop on the backseat. Maybe this is a good time for Natalie to make some changes in her life.
Irreconcilable Difference #84: I happen to have in- herited a particular synapse between purpose and caution that got left out of her genetic map.
