Sample text
The conversation looked quite animated, judging from the raised arms and dismayed expressions. Gigi teetered back on her high heels. ” She waved her arm and the head waiter was at her side. After a few words with him, waiters rushed to slide open pocket doors on a wall to reveal an intimate jewel of a room. All the guests at our table were moved to a table there. A waiter cleared Gigi’s setting from the top table and moved it to ours. Nancy looked momentarily upset, then regained her cheerful expression.
It was like being in the VIP room of a club that usually won’t let you in the door. Gigi’s cellar was raided for her favorite wines, and the service was flawless. Our conversation seemed wittier, and everyone was instantly more attractive. Nancy’s cousins, who lived in Indiana near their parents, and I shared Nancy stories. Sharon, who was close to our age, said, “You know that her parents sent her to a speech therapist, right? ” Aunt Tiny asked Dill, who shook his head. ” “That’s what I’ve always loved about her,” I said.

Todd and I have everything worked out on a twenty-five-year plan. ” The idea was so hideous that I wanted to shake her until sense came to her. But maybe Nancy was the sensible one, while I merely la-la’d about with no concrete goals. “I hope it works out for you, Nancy. ” “Oh, absolutely. I insisted on girl-bonding time,” she said.
