"But you already tried that, Eddy!"
"Marshall was…Marshall, darling. Justin's different. You know, I think he really loves me. He doesn't even try to sleep with me."
"You've known him three days…"
"Three days…three years…what's the difference? He has money. I like money! And he can help raise Serge."
"But what about us?"
Edina looked at Patsy incredulously. "What do you mean, darling? If anything, we'll have MORE time to party. We can dump the kid with Justin."
"It's just…" Patsy's shoulders slumped. "Do what you have to do, Eds."
Eddy blinked repeatedly, astonished by Patsy's reaction. "I really thought you'd be happy for me."
Patsy avoided her best friend's eyes. This might be her last chance to tell Eddy how she felt, before that troll of a man took her away forever. But if she confessed her true feelings, she might really lose Eddy forever. Was it worth the risk?
No, she decided. It wasn't.
"I am happy for you, Eddy." Patsy feigned a smile. "Just jealous, I guess."
Eddy put her arm around Patsy. "Don't be jealous, darling! We'll find you a man. Someone with ten times more money than Justin. And twice as good looking."
Patsy felt her heart turn to Stone.
