The next day, at the Plaza Hotel…

she lies in a bath full of hot water, her warm room-service dinner on a tray beside her and she thinks she should write about such a tragedy in her next script. She’d have to make it a cyclone for Australian audiences but it could still work.

Because if this was a story she was in right now, the hurricane would be the disaster that makes her see she has no reason to change her life because all she really needs to live are simple things. That what she wanted was too vast, too grand, too abstract. She doesn’t want an affair or a divorce. She wants to be the extraordinary thing that one person cannot take their eyes from, like the hurricane, to be the storm that renders someone helpless. But how?

By going to the movies, or watching a television show where a couple fall recklessly into a complete and overwhelming love and then shrugging her shoulders when it ends and turning back to her husband and sharing his popcorn and having married sex and embracing her children and thanking God that her toilets flush.
