Morgan was halfway across the Harbor Bridge when her phone buzzed. This being the umpteenth time it had rung already today, she was tempted to ignore it. But the part of her that still held hope Ally might call glanced expectantly to the caller I.D. Her expression fell. It was only Michael, her agent. She let it ring.

It stopped and was pleasantly silent for the rest of her journey, even throughout the wrong turn she made and her subsequent unscheduled stop to check her map. But it rang again as she was turning into the gated entrance to the boys’ school where she was due to be “auctioned off.” It was Michael again.

“All right, already. Jesus!” Morgan pointed her Mercedes in the direction of the sign that read “Staff only” parking, pulled into the first bay she found free and cut the engine. “Yes, Michael?” she said curtly as she undid her seat belt. “I hope this is more important than last time. This is my one and only day off, you know.”

Yesterday, after being ignored by Ally and after making Marie’s transport and accommodation arrangements, she’d killed the time left before the train arrived by answering some of her phone messages. She’d rolled her eyes skyward when Michael imparted the details of the so-called “exciting opportunity” he had mentioned in his message the previous day. Apparently some biographer to the stars wanted to write her life story. She’d reminded Michael she was only thirty-five years old and hopefully hadn’t already done everything that may be worth writing about. And—not being in the best of moods—she also pointed out that she was trained in journalism, so, surprise, surprise, could string a sentence together. Hence, if anyone was going to write her life story, it would be her. And she hung up.

Now, Michael gave an audible sigh before saying, “Sounds like somebody’s going to get their period soon.”

Morgan rolled her eyes skyward again. He could be as bitchy as any self-respecting queen. Not that he’d ever admitted to her he was a gay man. The philosophy of “don’t ask, don’t tell” at the network also applied to her relationship with her agent, and that aspect of their lives was never discussed. Only business and money, percentages and profile-raising opportunities. And where Morgan was in her cycle. “Yes, Michael, I am. So unless you want to be the victim of a PMS-induced crime, you’d better tell me what you want quick-smart.”

“Have you ever heard of a little event called the Logies?” Michael asked primly.

Of course she’d heard of the Logies. They were the Australian television industry’s equivalent to the Emmys. Bonnes Vacances had amassed a nice collection of the little statues over the years and had indeed added another two at this year’s ceremony, held only the month prior. “Get to the point.”

Michael took a deep breath before saying in a very tightly controlled voice, “What would you say if I told you I had been approached asking if you want to host next year’s event? Alone.
