Penny in London
Fisher Amelie
Genre: New Adult
Release Date: August 3, 2016
You know how everyone says when one door closes another one opens? At the time, you find this statement obnoxious as all get out because a) you don’t really know what the future holds, it certainly hasn’t been a cakewalk so far, and b) the thought of change is unbearable. You feel like your life is falling apart and everyone around is feeding you clichés like they’re made out of kale or quinoa or whatever the trend health food is right now. You don’t want kale clichés, you want double-chocolate fudge realisms, and you want them now. You just want things the way they were, but then something happens, a moment, an instant that sets you out on a path toward happiness you never knew could exist, and suddenly you think, huh, I don’t think I want double-chocolate fudge anymore. I think I’m in the mood for this heaping serving of strawberry cheesecake sitting in front of me…with a side of kale. And a pair of split pants, but we won’t get into that right now.
Graham Glenn may have tossed her in, but Oliver Finn made her feel again.

F: Penny, hello!
P: Hi, Fisher, long time no talk!
F: What’s the haps?
P: Well, I’m attending a friend’s wedding tomorrow.
F: Claire’s and Jasper’s, I know. I wrote it.
P: Ooh! Can you tell me what I wear? Save me some time. I haven’t bought anything yet.
F: Oh, yeah, of course. Uh, let’s see, let me think. Snaps. It was this little cornflower blue dupioni silk number. It’s a nod to the 50’s, little cap sleeves, small pleat at the natural waist, v-neck, fabric criss-crosses against the breast, comes just below the knee.
P: Dupioni silk! Fisher, that sounds a little gauche for a day wedding.
F: Trust me, Penny, it’s much more understated than it sounds.
P: It just doesn’t sound like something I’d pick out, Fisher.
F: Well you did, okay? You’ll get it at that little shop near Oli’s, your favorite one.
P: Oh, Emma & Elinor’s! I do love that shop but I’m not so sure about the dress.
F: Penny, will you just trust me?
P: I guess- but, you know, maybe I’ll also stop by that other little place by my own flat, see what they have.
F: You are as stubborn as a mule, you know that? Just stop by Emma & Elinor’s.
P: What would the harm be in stopping by another store?
F: Because it’d be a waste of your time, that’s why. I know what you wear to the wedding because I wrote the scene already!
P: Dang, baby, chill.
F: Look, we’re off topic. People are reading this.
P: All right then, ask away.
F: What’s your favorite part of your’s and Oli’s story?
P: The part where I decide not to wear dupioni silk to my friend’s wedding.
F: Penelope Beckett! You’re really starting to get on my last nerve.
P: Fisher! I don’t want to wear that. Please don’t make me wear that.
F: It’s too late! I’ve already written the scene and sent it off to my editor. It’s also with the formatter, which is a big deal because you have to be okay with whatever you sent as it’s almost impossible to reformat later. I won’t alter it to suit your whim.
P: You are very mean sometimes.
F: Sighs. You are very punkish.
P: Punkish is not a word.
F: I know this! I made it up. I can do that, you know.
P: Look at me, everyone! I’m the great and powerful Fisher Amelie! I make up words and force dupioni silk on my main characters!
F: I just don’t understand you sometimes, Penny. You pick the dress out yourself right after this interview.
P: If you say so.
F: I know so.
P: Fine.
F: Fine.
P: Fisher?
F: Yes, punk?
P: How do I wear my hair?
F: Get out. This instant, you punkish brat.
