Sybrina Hart
VP at a Manhattan firm called Sterling. Eighteen years married. Lives in Montclair. Drives in. Wears the suit, the bun, the matte red lipstick that is not, actually, desire-red.
What follows is what she writes when nobody is reading.

I Noticed
Two years and four months of calls with the consultant from Atlanta. A cardigan he has seen eleven times. A drawer marked Not Now.
Eight Rotations
Two thousand four hundred square feet that has never been smaller. Jake's speakerphone laugh in eight rotations. A meditation app she has never opened.
Agreeable Gray
An empty house mid-renovation, an Agreeable Gray bedroom she let happen, and a closet she did not.
I Am Very, Very Happy
Tuesday night in the Hoboken condo, an Atherton deck the partners will not have notes on, and the schedule that works.
All the Time in the World
Thank-you notes from the Hoboken condo, a Le Creuset Dutch oven, a KitchenAid that lives on the floor when she cooks, and a cassoulet she hasn't yet learned to make.
