“I’ll tell everyone about our stellar apartment—though maybe I’ll bump us up to Park Slope—and about my fabulous publishing internship—I think I’ll pretend it’s a salaried job.” Come to think about it, this reunion seemed like a really bad idea.

Eva frowned. "But aren't you in a fight?"

Eva gave me a look.

"There's nothing wrong with being a Jane."

"That's what the Elizabeths always say," I muttered darkly.”
