And I'm sure the new Best Friend did not spill a single drop of red wine onto her silk suit. No matter how drunk she got. Unlike me, who would be a sodden mess by then!

Heroine picked up her glass. “Salut.�
Heroine’s Friend knocked back her wine. “Now for the good stuff. Gossip! You need to know who is lying, cheating, backstabbing, revenge-seeking, who-done-who-wrong and who is just plain hard to get along with in this place. I’m here to give you the road map every girl should have before she starts working in this loony bin.�
Hungry, Heroine forked some stir-fry into her mouth. She remarked, “It sounds like I need a flowchart.�
The faerie gasped. “Beauteous. I need a pen.�
Heroine watched her pat the pockets of her silk suit, then trot to the door to flag down a passing waitress. Heroine’s Friend returned triumphant. She started to scribble on the white tablecloth, drawing circles and arrows between names as she chattered. They finished their lunch. The waiter came and left with their plates. More wine flowed.
Sometime later Heroine rubbed her nose. She looked at her empty wineglass, then at the empty bottles on the neighboring table. She squinted at her new best friend, who listed to one side in her chair. “What is your name again?�
The faerie snickered. “It’s gotta be on this chart. I’m sure I wrote it down somewhere.�
Heroine looked over the dense black scribbles that covered the tablecloth. “We were going to talk about something. Weren’t we?�
“Sure we were. You’re going to take over my PR job.�
“Okay.� She nodded. It was the perfect solution. Of course it was.
Heroine’s Friend gave a sudden giggle. “How’d we get so downtrodden? We haven’t even finished our first glasses of wine.� She picked up her glass and clicked it against Heroine’s. “Salut, new friend.�
