The following week was more hectic than I’d thought possible. Because so many of us were going to be gone around Christmas, we all had to prepare a lot of material ahead of time. Wendy was doing two shows a day in front of a live studio audience, and as a result, my team was shooting at least one if not two features each day. A couple of times, I actually had to change clothes to make it look like a separate day. I found this absurd, given that it was winter and in every outdoor segment I was wearing a huge black coat that covered most of what I had on underneath. But that was the protocol at Love, Wendy, so I kept my mouth shut. Although we had a long list of features to shoot, I still hadn’t come up with a good idea for the New Year’s Eve show.

Late Wednesday afternoon, I squeezed in an hour between shoots to meet Paige for coffee. She wanted to catch up on work stuff before she took off to visit her parents for the holidays. We’d only texted, so I still had no idea what had happened during her weekend with Gary. As I pushed open the door to The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, a wave of dread swept over me. I wonder what he told her?

I spotted her sitting at a table when I walked in.

“Hey, Waverly, it’s great to see you.” She stood up and gave me a hug. Her blonde hair looked a little lighter than usual, and I wondered if she’d highlighted it for her trip to Vermont.

“It’s, um, it’s good to see you too.” I was at a loss for words, a rare experience. Does she know? Does she know I know?

She pointed to the counter. “I just ordered a hot chocolate. Want one?”

“Sure, sounds good.” I took off my coat and sat down at the table. Oh lordy, this is awkward.

A minute later, she handed me a hot chocolate and took a seat. “So how was your weekend with my cousin? I hope she didn’t get herself arrested.”

I laughed. “Thankfully, no, although she did drag me to a club in the Meatpacking District.”

“You did not.”

“I did. Do you know how old that made me feel?”

“I haven’t been to a club in years. I can’t imagine dealing with that scene now. Too many prepubescents in slutty clothes for my taste.”

I pointed at her. “Exactly! It was a total scene. The stars of the scene were prepubescents in slutty clothes, and I was an extra who never should have been hired in the first place. I kept waiting for the director to show up and kick me out.”

She laughed. “Please, I’m sure you added a much-needed touch of class to the establishment.”

I took a sip of my hot chocolate. “You are way too nice. But we had a great weekend. McKenna, the third Musketeer, so to speak, surprised me and came out with Andie.”

“She’s the one who just had the baby, right?”

I nodded.
