Caroline
I don't like Larry's new wife and never have, which is why I have decided to make my plan. It's easy for me because I'm good at making plans that will make Larry come back to me in the end so that we can have our perfect family back again. That's why I've taken the modeling job for Larry's company. It's why I'm preparing to go to the company to see him. I make sure to look my best.
In the bathroom, I don't hold my reflection in the mirror for long. Instead, as I dab warm water across my face, I feel lucid, and it is the kind of feeling that wraps itself around my chest. Making sure Larry falls back into my arms will require careful planning. After getting dressed, I head out to the office. At the company, I get a visit from Larry's father. He's even the one who made sure I got the contract for the modeling work.
"Caroline, dear," he holds a smile as he extends his hand for a handshake, and when I reach forward and take it, he nods at the office.
"I have to say, I do believe you'll be a fine addition to the Kensington family, Caroline," he says.
It reassures me that I am, in a way, welcome. "I'm honored for the opportunity, Mr. Kensington."
"Elon, please," he says to me. "I've known you for a pretty long time; there is no need for formalities."
I like his tone, how measured it is and yet informal, like he is speaking to a close friend or a child.
