Something Borrowed - Emily Giffin [145]
Yet within a few days, Amber was back in class, giving a speech on the recent stock market crash. I had just given my speech on why grocery store makeup was the way to go—over more expensive makeup—as it all comes from the same big vats of oils and powder. I marveled at Amber's ability to give such a substantive speech, barely glancing at her index cards, when her ex-boyfriend was in a coffin under the frozen ground. And her competent speech was nothing compared to the spectacle she created when making out with Alan Hysack at the Spring Dance, fewer than three months after Eric's funeral.
So if I were striving to destroy Rachel and Dex's world, suicide might not be the answer, either. Which left me with one option—stay on course with my charmed, perfect life. Don't they say that happiness is the best revenge? I'd marry Marcus, have his baby, and ride off into the sunset, never looking back.
"Hey. Give me a slice after all," I said to Marcus. "I'm eating for two now."
