My fuckfest with Marcus had me sore all over. It was like I’d been in a seven-hour SoulCycle class. I don’t actually know what that would feel like because I don’t do “spinning,” but you get the idea. My thighs hurt, my arms hurt, my head hurt. It was glorious and pathetic at once.

So, after I let Tina know what was going on with the paper delay and assured her (lied to her) that we were still in good shape, I decided that what my body really craved was a proper outdoor meditation/nap combo. The sun may give us cancer, but it can also be so healing in times of need.

I made a pit stop at the front desk on my way out to the grand lawn next to the hotel. The girl who’d supplied me with my brainstorming props (thread, tacks, et cetera) was working behind a computer.

“What do you guys do on these computers? I’ve always wondered what the fuck you hotel people could possibly be doing, typing so fast, brows furrowed, when there isn’t even a guest around. Are you like emailing with other concierges around the world? Oh my god, is there, like, a secret concierge chat network? Are you all spies?”

“Hello, Miss Walker.”

“Hey, skinny.”

She was very thin.

“At the moment, I was setting up and confirming some upgrades for a few VIP clients we have checking in later today.”

“Interesting. Wanna tell me who the VIP people are? It’s okay, I probably know them personally so you don’t have to worry about confidentiality or anything. I am like them, they are like me, this exchange of information is completely safe.”

“I’m afraid I can’t tell you that; it’s just not our policy here to discuss our guests’ plans to other guests.”

“Interesting. So you’re saying these people are famous?”

“Nope, not saying that.”

“Interesting. They’re not famous.”

“Not saying that either.”

“Wow, interesting. Okay, I get it. I get it and I like what you’re doing here.”

“Is there something I can help you with this morning?”

“I actually just wanted to say thanks for being so helpful and pretty and thin.”

“Oh, um, you’re welcome, Miss Walker.”

“I really needed your support the other night because this kind of cursed, sad friend of mine needed my help and without you, she would’ve been fucked because I would’ve been fucked. It’s all just a big beautiful web of women helping each other, isn’t it?”

“I guess it is, yeah.”

“And I feel like in this day and age, we are only as strong as our community and the support we have around us.”

“Sure, yes.”

“So, anyway. Sorry to interrupt your top-secret concierge spy stuff, but wanted to express my gratitude and give you a little token of my appreciation. You’re an amazing front-desk person and you should know that in my eyes, you’re an inspiration to all women.”

I pulled an envelope with a check inside from my bag and put in on the desk in front of her.

“This is so not necessary, Ms. Walker. Really.”

“Of course it’s not necessary. Fuck necessary,” I said dramatically, coyly, annoyingly.
