Starlet wasn't feeling nauseous anymore so she was shopping. She had left her child with her parents and had decided to do something mundane. She picked up a dress and examined it. She had a few parties lined up and she wanted to look her best. She had thought about waiting for her friends to be free. Charlotte was pregnant and didn't like being on her feet, away from the toilet, or away from her kitchen for very long. Xiamie was in Paris for a fashion show and Octavia was away with her husband. She had no one.
She wondered if she should have chosen a demanding career like the four but snickered at the thought. Her job might look like a lot of free time but sometimes it was frustrating. Sometimes ideas flowed to her easily but they were not easy to shape out in the clay. Sometimes the idea was stupid and she realised it after the clay was dry. Sometimes she didn't have the right paints or the vanish was wrong for the piece.
