Melody and I are as different as two people can be. She’s introverted, organized, routine oriented, cautious; I’m loud, messy, chaotic, chronically overscheduled. She loves meat and potatoes and Classic Coke; I love goat cheese and vinegar and red wine. She wears flip-flops and T-shirts at every possible turn; I consider both leopard and sequins to be neutrals, and I dyed the tips of my hair hot pink this spring.
