Apparently, wearing her very expensive diamonds (the ones that made her sparkle from the other side of the room) to work really only tipped people off about the kind of morning she'd had, especially since she'd arrived an hour late

Annie laughed out loud and, leaving him with the wine. "Thank you for holding my hair while I was sick, by the way."

Sitting at the table, she looked it over and shook her head. "I married the perfect man. James Bond outside of the house, Martha Steward inside."
