OBLIGATORY GAY FRIEND

Oh my God. He sounds so hot.

CHARLIE

I hate everything about Dick Connor. He makes me feel awful and inadequate.

OGF

That is actually a sign of true love.

CHARLIE

I don’t think so… .

OGF

(giving her a pitying look over his glasses) Charlie, honey, you’re almost thirty. It doesn’t pay to have too much self-esteem. Come on. Let’s shop for heels and a push-up bra.

CUT TO: Montage — Charlie getting primped and powdered and squeezed into a tight black dress. Charlie entering a ballroom and catching the eye of every man, including Dick. Charlie slow dancing with Dick. Charlie seeing Dick with another woman. Charlie crying. Eating ice cream. Watching Home Shopping Network. Staring wistfully at a store window filled with wedding dresses.

CUT TO: Charlie sitting with her grandma in her cutesy retirement community.

CHARLIE

(tearful)

What if Mr. Wrong is the best I’m going to get?

GRANDMA

(patting her hand) Love means making sacrifices. I know these things. I’m old.

CHARLIE

Grandma, you’re on Alzheimer’s meds and you think my shoe is the cat.

GRANDMA

(glaring) That’s a bad kitty.

CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR

It was a fine day of blue, cloudless skies and unhurried winds. The sort of day that inspires confidence in the state of the world. If Taylor had been back home, she would have considered it a perfect tanning day and gone for a fresh coat of color. But she had more important things to think about just now. She had work to do, and as she worked, she hummed an old show tune. It was a song she had used in a previous pageant, a song about how you couldn’t get a man with a gun, which was silly — of course you could get just about anything with a gun! But it calmed her to sing it now as she attached the red, blue, and white wires to the statue of Miss Miss.
