I don’t want you to be late.” “Okay, I’m going. Make notes, I’ll transcribe it all.” “I know nothing about him,” I murmur, trying and failing to suppress my rising panic. Here are the questions and my mini-disc recorder. Would you like some Nyquil or Tylenol?” “Nyquil, please. How does she do it? Even ill she looks gamine and gorgeous, strawberry blonde hair in place and green eyes bright, although now red-rimmed and runny. Please,” Kate begs me in her rasping, sore throat voice. It will take another six to reschedule, and we’ll both have graduated by then. It took me nine months to get this interview. Kate is huddled on the couch in the living room. As an exceptional entrepreneur and major benefactor of our University, his time is extraordinarily precious – much more precious than mine – but he has granted Kate an interview. I have final exams to cram for, one essay to finish, and I’m supposed to be working this afternoon, but no – today I have to drive a hundred and sixty-five miles to downtown Seattle in order to meet the enigmatic CEO of Grey Enterprises Holdings Inc. Therefore, she cannot attend the interview she’d arranged to do, with some mega-industrialist tycoon I’ve never heard of, for the student newspaper. Kate is my roommate, and she has chosen today of all days to succumb to the flu. My only option is to restrain my wayward hair in a ponytail and hope that I look semi presentable. I roll my eyes in exasperation and gaze at the pale, brown-haired girl with blue eyes too big for her face staring back at me, and give up. Reciting this mantra several times, I attempt, once more, to bring it under control with the brush. I should be studying for my final exams, which are next week, yet here I am trying to brush my hair into submission. Damn my hair – it just won’t behave, and damn Katherine Kavanagh for being ill and subjecting me to this ordeal. I scowl with frustration at myself in the mirror. To Amanda and all at TWCS – thank you for taking a punt. To SR – thank you for all the helpful advice from the start and for going first. To the original bunker babes – thank you for your friendship and constant support. To my boss Lisa – thank you for putting up with me over the last year or so while I indulged in this madness. I am indebted to the following people for their help and support: To my husband Niall – thank you for tolerating my obsession, being a domestic god and doing the first edit.
