The Swans of Fifth Avenue (2016)
“Things with the Paleys were getting complicated, he mused. And interesting; oh, so deliciously, delightfully interesting!
Truman still gasped whenever he first saw Babe after time away from her. Her beauty did not fade; it only became more finely honed with each passing year. His obsession with her still burned, for he craved beauty as he craved love and approval, and if he could have both in one gorgeous, glamorous package, then what more could he ask for?
And her vulnerability, her touching c...onfessions; he could—and sometimes did—weep at the memory of that day they spent together, that night in her bed when he had lain beside William S. Paley’s wife and known her more completely than her husband ever would. He’d meant it when he said that she was the one woman whom he wished he could love physically. But even as he’d said it, part of him—the part he despised when he was hungover and regretful on certain mornings after—had suppressed a laugh, hearing himself already rearranging the story so he could tell it to those who appreciated his stories, especially the ones about the rich and famous, just like them.MoreLess
