CAROL MARINELLI recently filled in a form asking for her job title. Thrilled to be able to put down her answer, she put âwriterâ. Then it asked what Carol did for relaxation, and she put down the truthââwritingâ. The third question asked for her hobbies. Well, not wanting to look obsessed, she crossed her fingers and answered âswimmingââbut, given that the chlorine in the pool does terrible things to her highlights, Iâm sure you can guess the real answer!

âMERIDA! THANK GOODNESS youâre here!â
Reece was clearly relieved as Merida stepped into the smart Fifth Avenue gallery.
A spring shower had chased her from the subway and, having dashed out of her apartment at short notice to get there, Merida hadnât brought an umbrella. Her long red curls were looking particularly wild, but there should be time to sort them before he arrived, she thought.
Merida Cartwrightâs smile was so bright and engaging no one would guess that stepping in at the last moment to give some VIP a private tour of the gallery was the very last thing she wanted to be doing this evening.
While she might be a gallery assistant by day, Merida was an actress by nightâand also by heart. From England, she had come to New York with Broadway in mind and had given herself a year to make it.
Now, ten months in, her time and her savings were fast running out.
She needed money, and although she had an important audition tomorrow, and would prefer to be in her tiny apartment preparing for it, she smiled. âItâs honestly not a problem, Reece.â
âI had just started to lock up when Helene called.â
âHelene?â
âEthan Devereuxâs PA. I canât believe that heâs coming to visit the gallery and I shanât be here to show him around.â
âIt will be fine.â Reece was highly strung and Merida did her best to calm him. âWhat time is your flight?â
