Subject: What is going on here?<br />
What was that supposed to be? An intervention? I nearly died when I walked into the<br />
Ladies Room and Dolly was there with you. I kept looking around for the fax guy,<br />
thinking he was hiding in one of the stalls with a box of condoms and some edible massage<br />
oil, and her being there was all just some terrible mistake.<br />
Nadine, I don't care what Dolly says about Max Friedlander. He is nothing like that.<br />
Maybe he used to be, but he's changed. I mean, I know. I have spent time with the guy.<br />
And I've watched him with Paco, and especially with Mr. Peepers (okay, I admit it, so I<br />
spied on him through the window. Hey, I'm not proud. But it's the truth). Mr. Peepers<br />
hates everybody, but he is really starting to warm up to Max, and I know you can't judge<br />
a person by how he or she relates to animals, but I think it says a lot about Max that he<br />
has spent so much time getting to know his aunt's pets that even a distrustful and<br />
generally anti-social cat like Mr. Peepers is starting to warm up to him. OK?<br />
And yeah, maybe my batting average ain't what it ought to be, considering the fact that<br />
Aaron was doing Barbara Bellerieve behind my back and I never suspected a thing, but I<br />
really don't think Max is just out to get me into bed. Because if what Dolly is saying is<br />
true, then Max Friedlander could have anybody. So why would he want me? I am not<br />
being self-effacing, either. I mean, why would a guy like that go for a short red-headed<br />
gossip columnist when he could have--well, Cindy Crawford, if she wasn't happily<br />
married to that guy who owns Skybar, or Princess Stephanie of Monaco, or somebody<br />
like that? I mean, seriously, think about it, Nadine.<br />
That's all. I'm not mad, or anything. Just hurt, I guess. I mean, I'm not a baby.<br />

PS You can make it up to me by helping me pick out new shoes at Nine West to go with<br />
my new dress.<br />

Subject: Fine. Go out with him. See if I care.<br />
But I want a full report the minute you get back. Understand?<br />
And I am warning you, Mel, if this guy breaks your heart and you are mopey for my<br />
wedding, I will personally kill both him and you.<br />
