I caught the high school reunion message right after wrapping a red carpet livestream. The organizers had bumped me from the second row to the fifth at the last minute because Stella James showed up. She was today's special guest and got seated front and center in row one, with cameras constantly panning to her radiant smile. My seat ended up right next to the aisle. My assistant muttered under her breath, "Lily, they invited us first." "Drop it," I said, glancing down at my phone. The group chat was still called "Ridgemont High '16 Forever." The newest message came from our class president. [Hey everyone! Stella's back in town, so we're doing a reunion this Saturday. Thinking The Willow Club. Let me know if you can make it.] A flood of responses came in. [I'm there!] [Count me in!] [Definitely coming!] Stella replied: [You guys are too sweet!] Then she dropped a Venmo link loaded with three thousand dollars. Instantly, dozens of "Thanks boss!" messages lit up the screen. Then someone created a new group chat. Everyone was in it except Stella and my secret husband, Ryan Stone.
