“It’s amazing who is too busy for you as you get older.” Adrienne accepted a glass of wine after Eva opened the bottle. The suite’s kitchenette was barely big enough to hold four women as they crowded around for some of the best wine to come out of Napa Valley, but Eva knew how to contain her elbows as she played sommelier. “Tina and I used to be the bestest of friends at Harvard. We couldn’t go two days without hanging out at the library or grabbing coffee at the square. Now? You’d think my last name was Pariah.”

Nadia cleaned up the bit of wine that had spilled. Amber sidled up next to her partner and said, “Is this the same Tina you told me got all jealous when you started dating Ethan?”

“What are you implying?”

Amber slid out of the way as Eva placed the backup wine bottle on the counter. “She had a crush on you and got big mad when you started locking lips with my future boss.”

“Either way,” Adrienne said to the other two women at the counter, “I’ve tried contacting her more than once this week, telling her I’m in town and I would love to catch up. I keep going straight to voicemail. At least it tells me it’s still her number…”

“Who’s this friend again?” Eva asked. “I’ve missed something.”

“She’s some bigshot agent now. Got the kind of acting clients you can’t miss on the big screen. I think one of them was even in that Barbie movie.” Adrienne sipped her wine. “Or was that ‘Oppenheimer?’ God, I can barely keep track of what comes out anymore. I’ve never been a big movie person.”

Nadia presented a platter of cheeses and crackers Eva picked up at one of the specialty markets on their way back from the beach. Although Adrienne and Amber couldn’t come by until much later due to a dinner commitment, that didn’t stop Eva from making good on her promise to host guests in their suite that night. Nadia had told the two that it was a casual affair for chatting and hanging out, yet here they were, in slinky slip dresses and push-up bras. If this one gets in the hot tub, Eva thought of Amber after staring at her impeccably blond roots, the water will be bleached.

“You have a connection in Hollywood, huh?” Eva asked, keeping the conversation alive. “That must be interesting. I haven’t had one since… oof, it’s been a while.” Even then, most of her Hollywood friends were models and actresses who were either now retired or had disappeared from her life. Where had the time gone?

Adrienne’s face lit up as soon as she remembered Amber was right next to her. “Do you know how many times she’s tried to poach my girlfriend? To be a model?”

“Tina has made it very clear I’m not actress material,” Amber said with a wrinkle of her nose. “Not that I want to be an actress, but she could be a little less Hollywood-sassy about it.
