Leave It to Claire (2009)
“Especially when she’s frowning into my bathroom mirror like I am and every wrinkle (which are really war wounds as far as I’m concerned) reminds me that I’m not getting any younger. Or nicer, apparently.
I stare at the woman I’ve become. The reflection accuses me, mocks me, and worse still, reminds me of all the weight I’ve gained over the past five years.
Darcy’s little parting remark left me speechless. And that doesn’t happen often. I’m notorious for the quippy comeback. Now my wings... are clipped, the wind has left my sails, and more than anything I wish I could rewind a couple of hours and never answer that doorbell in the first place.
Of course her accusation or observation or whatever that was supposed to be is completely and utterly ridiculous.
She looks nothing whatsoever like Gina, the adulterous model, so how could I mix them up? I feel a twinge inside my gut. And that annoys me.MoreLess
