like a diamond

Dress is Matthew Williamson SS06

Panels of silk whirl and pool around your body as you flit about the house on a coke-induced high. You've been left to your own frenzied devices while your husband cleans his guns and brokers deals in his cherry-paneled study. You're sharp and polished, like a diamond.

Later, you're sipping margaritas on the patio with some of the girls from the neighborhood. They're as manicured as their lawns, which is to say: crisp, clean, and country club cool. "What does your husband do?" asks one. "He's in international shipping," you say, and your laugh rings out metallic, betraying the truth.
