THAT NIGHT LORENA lies in bed staring at the light patch on the ceiling as if awaiting some sign. She can’t sleep. Something momentous has occurred, a shift in her consciousness more profound than the change she felt on her wedding night when she lay awake marveling that she was no longer a virgin, an event she had dreaded as well as anticipated. And when it was over and done with before she knew what was happening, she wondered why she had spent so many years fantasizing about such an insignificant moment.

But by sleeping with another man, she had crossed a boundary more daring than that of exchanging a maiden’s innocence for marital experience. Why, she thought, this is like a movie. Illicit. Daring. Lustful. Well, maybe not that lustful, but it was probably because she had been so nervous, being an extramarital virgin and all. Next time she’d be better.

She did feel guilty. Oh, yes, she was ridden with guilt, but it was all mixed up with the excitement of being desired and admired, of being wanted. Being the object of such passion instilled a passion within her that overrode the pangs of regret she felt when she looked upon the faces of Pete and Cassie. She was wanted. She was wanton. She just couldn’t help herself.

And if the side effect of this marital detour could mean fame and fortune, wouldn’t the guilt be worth it? Once she was rich and famous, she knew she would be happy. She’d have everything she ever wanted and never worry about anything again. Not money. Not looks. Not love.

Because when you’re famous, it means you’ve got it all.
