I put Sonia in charge of the whole thing, from the guest list to lighting to

marketing materials. This is Sonia’s gallery, a new space she’s rented on a

12-month lease, primo real estate in the heart of the east end. The palatial

galleries are already filling with her favorite female artists, some local, some

international.

This is her debut as much as mine. She is slaying, holding court in a stunning

black gown, closing deals faster than her newly-trained assistant can keep up.

I hold my glass up to her across the room in a silent toast to her future

success. She grins back at me, letting Allen Wren believe that he’s getting

some kind of deal on the hottest new artist out of Mumbai as he signs the

purchase agreement.

Cole is just as busy, arguing with Marcus York at top volume. Marcus is

trying to rope him into another sculpture, this time for Golden Gate Park.

“No fucking way! The last one almost killed me.”

“What, from a little snow? Come now, we’ll build this one in the summer!”

“We won’t build it at all, ‘cause I ain’t doin’ it.”

“You need time to think.”

“I need time to drink,” Cole says, seizing another glass of champagne off a

passing tray. “I don’t know if I’m going to work at all this year.”

“You don’t mean that,” I say, slipping between him and Marcus York and

stealing a quick kiss. “You love working.”

“I used to love working,” he says, grabbing a handful of my ass, not giving a

fuck if York is still watching. “Now I’m distracted by more interesting things

…”

“Well, I’m sorry to hear you say that,” I pretend to pout. “Because I heard

about an opportunity opening up in Venice …”

I pull the plane tickets out of my purse, fanning them open dramatically in

front of him.
