The Truth About My Success (2013)
“Because they both now know that it is wise to be wary, neither of them speaks much during the drive from the studio in case the driver is listening in, but as soon as he drops them off, she introduces herself to Paloma. “My name’s Oona. Oona Ginness.”
“Well, you know who I am.” Paloma looks up at the house. “I don’t want to go in there.” She’s not even sure why she got in the car. Where else would the phoney Paloma be going at this time of the day? But curiosity and resentment got the better of... her. That and the fact that this girl can help her; she owes Paloma that much. And it seemed better than sleeping in a doorway. “I don’t want to see my mother.”
“She’s not home. She went out for dinner.”
Paloma laughs. Sourly. At least Leone is reliable in some ways.
Harriet greets them at the door, her tail moving so furiously it looks like it’s wagging her. Of course she has a dog, thinks Paloma. I don’t even like dogs, I like cats. How out of character can you get?MoreLess
