Issue #18 - Greta and Guy Get Their Signals Crossed

Greta opened up her apartment window and breathed in the fresh air. The past few weeks had been frigid in New York City, but now spring was suddenly in the air. Greta felt the cool breeze on her face and sighed wistfully as she noticed the couples below, walking down Prince Street, holding hands.

She thought of Guy, but now he was always busy with meetings at Face Magazine. True there was a budgetary crisis. And Greta felt horrible about the little kiss between her and Zane, but somehow the paparazzi had picked up on it and that innocent kiss was splashed all over the tabloids. And now, Guy had stopped returning her phone calls and all of Greta's writing assignments were issued through Guy's assistant. Greta even suspected that the assistant had alerted the press about her visit to St. Bart's and perhaps even told Zane Craven that she was there alone!

Greta had spent the last few weeks cloistered up, avoiding the press, but now she decided that it was time to move on, clear out the old and get on with the new. She began her day with a spring cleaning--dusting and vacuuming and rearranging everything in her apartment to celebrate the arrival of warmer weather. And now, she was giving her face a fresh glow, thanks to GreatSkin. She had begun her ritual with GreatSkin's Pearlescent Exfoliating Cleanser. The gentle lathering and exfoliating beads removed any residue of make up and impurities and left her skin with a new glow. Next she applied GreatSkin's Cucumber Toner. It smelled wonderfully fresh and left her skin feeling so cool and clean. She followed this with Vibran C Eye Gelee. It contained a high dosage of Vitamin C and made the little lines around her eyes smoother. Greta looked in the mirror and thought, yes my eyes look brighter too! No one would know my heart was breaking! Greta then used LaRoche-Posay Anthelios--a fabulous light, fragrance free, paba free moisturizer that kept her skin hydrated through the entire day and protected her with SX SPF 15. Finally, Greta applied GreatSkin's Mineral Sheer Tint SPF 20. It made her skin look flawless and radiant.

Greta looked in the mirror one last time and breathed deeply. She was ready. No, not for a date with Guy, but for an evening out with Zane Craven. And yes, it would probably be on the cover of the New York Post the next day, but since Guy was ignoring her, Greta longed for some for company and Zane had been so accommodating and available.

Greta left her apartment, wearing her new burgundy MaxMara cashmere cape. It felt so warm and cozy against her skin.

Downstairs in the street, Zane waited in his limo, smiling through the tinted windows, following Greta with his gaze, wondering when and how he would truly steal her from Guy. It would take time, he thought. But, he was a patient man, despite what the tabloids said about him.

And he was always up for a challenge!
