When Harris went to the kitchen for more wine and coffee, Amanda dashed after him.

“I need a lot more to drink,” she whispered to Harris. “It’s like they’re having a private dinner! Why didn’t they just have you bring something up to his room, where they could eat it off of each other?” Harris looked maddeningly amused as he opened a bottle. Amanda walked around in a circle and put her hands on her face, covering her eyes.

“Bo Peep, why do you care? It has nothing to do with you.”

“You know what? I don’t care. They could do it right on the table and I wouldn’t care.”

“Chillax. She’s used to being the center of attention and having him hang on her every word. This is how she is. Hell, she’s like this with me.”

She looked at him with an expression of manufactured serenity. “It doesn’t matter, because I don’t care. He could choose to not hang on her every word. He could choose to not peer down her dress every two seconds. Evidently he invited me to dinner just to show me how fabulous she is, with her fascinating stories and . . . and . . . and . . . boobs!” she sputtered. “Well, he’s made his point. Not that I care. I wish them all the best.”

“Yeah, I can tell you don’t give a rat’s derriere.”

“In fact, I have a proposal of my own. In fact, I’m going to propose it right now.” She grabbed one of the open bottles and steamed to the patio.

“Who’d like more wine?” she asked merrily. She topped off glasses, then grabbed her own full glass and took the chair next to Priscilla. The starlet turned to face her, her huge, ice-blue eyes mesmerizing up close.

“Have you been to Aspen before?” Amanda asked.

“Not really.”

“I was thinking it would be fun to go out to dinner tomorrow night. If Grady’s up for it?” Amanda looked at him.

“Sure.”

“Great,” Amanda said and looked at Priscilla.

“It’s sweet of you to think of me. Thank you, Amanda.” Priscilla squeezed Amanda’s arm. “It will be nice to see how the locals live.”

Grady snorted. “Don’t worry—there’s a Chanel and a Prada store. They’re not complete savages up here.”

“It’ll be a lot of fun,” Amanda said, then smiled sweetly. “And if you want to ride, just let me know.”

Priscilla picked up a bottle of hand sanitizer and offered it to Amanda.

“No thanks.”

Amanda wondered if the sanitizer was the starlet’s attempt to truly micromanage her life. It must be hard to be a woman in Hollywood, because there was always someone younger coming up the ranks, ready to snap up your spot. You must have to control everything.

Or Priscilla was just a germ freak. Amanda couldn’t imagine Grady being attracted to someone who was so uptight. Not your problem. Amanda excused herself and left for the barn.
