An audit. A tax fucking audit. Nadine couldn’t believe it. She’d filed her forms on time, didn’t make a shitload of money, kept careful — well, adequate — records of her expenditures. Why was the IRS harassing her?
“They always go after the little guys,” her friend Daphne explained, “waitresses, like me, or free-lancers, like you. [...]
Our apartment is set up with a huge bedroom, a generous kitchen and no dining room to speak of. So it too isn’t often that we throw dinner parties. In fact, we’ve never had guests over to eat. To drink, yes. To play, of course. Just not to dine. But when my 25th birthday happened [...]
For 10 minutes in the ’80s, I was beautiful.
I’ve been beautiful since, but never like that.
Never again.
Before those magical 10 minutes took place, I not only wasn’t beautiful, I was hardly noticeable. Simply put, I was just another lowly freshman at UCLA, one of 40,000 others who called the campus home. Shy, insecure, terrified — [...]

Sure, I [...]
“I want you to practice with me,” I begged Justine.
