The Summer Everything Changed (2013)
““What a freakin’ awful day.”
“You, too?” Louise asked.
The women were in the kitchen. On the table Louise had put out a selection of cheeses (all made in Maine), some good bread (ditto; it was easy to be a well-fed locavore in Maine), a dish of cured green olives, her own homemade tapenade, and a plate of shortbread cookies baked that morning by Bella. There was also a bottle of sauvignon blanc from Chile and a bottle of Malbec. Each bottle was almost half-empty and the women had only been at i...t for a half hour.
“I wonder if this is really what it all comes to in the end,” Catherine mused, sipping her wine.

“Yeah. Maybe this is all that really matters. Hanging out with someone who gives a shit about you in spite of your annoying qualities.”
“Something’s got you in a funk. Spill.”
“Well, if you must know, I got a call from this woman I knew back in Connecticut.”MoreLess
