？All　hail　the　conquering　rock　star。　I？m　Vanessa。？　She　clomped　over　to　the　guy　Ruby　was

straddling。　He　hadn？t　looked　at　her　once。

？This　is　Piotr；？　Ruby　explained；　wiggling　her　purple…leather…clad　ass　as　she　said　his　name；　as　if

just　saying　it　was　a　real　turnon。　？We　met　after　our　show　in　Prague。？

？Hallo；？　Piotr　replied　in　a　stiff　accent；　exhaling　a　long　plume　of　smoke　as　he　spoke。

Charming。

？The　apartment　looks　cool。？　Ruby　sounded　skeptical。　She　glanced　around　the　room。　？But　how

could　you　afford　all　this？　The　furniture；　the　drapes？？

？It？s　a　long　story；？　Vanessa　answered；　leaning　against　the　lavender…painted　wall　and　trying　to

look　anywhere　but　at　the　fawn…colored　suede　couch　where　the　filthy；　scrawny　Eastern　European

stranger　was　stretched　out　underneath　her　sister。

？Like　the　story　of　where　you　got　those　shoes？？　Ruby　asked；　throwing　her　purple　hair　back。　It　was

the　same　color　as　Willy　Wonka？s　hat。　？And　that　top？　Jesus；　look　at　you。　You？re　a　real　fashion

plate。？

？I　had　a　meeting。？　Vanessa　felt　hurt。　Why　was　Ruby　being　such　a　bitch？　If　only　the　slimebag

between　her　legs　would　get　lost　so　they　could　order　some　sushi　and　have　one　of　their　sis…terly

heart…to…hearts。

？A　word？？　Ruby　climbed　down　off　of　Piotr？s　lap。　She　nod…ded　toward　the　kitchen。

Vanessa　followed；　wondering　how　long　Ruby　was　going　to　be　home。　They　leaned　against　the

Formica　countertop。　？You　two　look　pretty　。　。　。　serious；？Vanessa　observed。

？It？s　love；？　Ruby　murmured　wistfully；　sounding　surprisingly　un？rocker　chick。　She　did　a　little

half…pirouette　then　stopped；　pseudo…embarrassed；　and　leaned　against　the　counter　again。

？That？s　cool；？　Vanessa　responded；　irritated。　It　didn？t　look　like　they　were　going　to　be　doing　any

sisterly　bonding　after　all。　She　fiddled　with　the　ceramic　Statue　of　Liberty　salt　and　pepper　shakers

Dan　had　given　her　in　a　fit　of　romantic　corniness。

？Well；　the　apartment　does　look　good；　even　if　it？s　not　what　I　expected　to　e　home　to；？　Ruby

mented。　？But　I　hate　to　think　that　you　went　to　all　this　trouble　when　。　。　。？

？When　what？？Vanessa　asked　suspiciously。

？Not　to　be　the　bearer　of　bad　news；　but　。　。　。　Piotr　is　going　to　be　here　for　a　while。　Some　local

galleries　are　interested　in　him？he？s　a　painter；　did　I　mention？　He　does　monolithic　nudes　with　their

canines。　He？s　huge　in　the　underground　Prague　scene；　and　he？s　hoping　to　break　into

Williamsburg。？

Vanessa　wasn？t　exactly　sure　what　？monolithic　nudes　and　their　canines？　meant；　but　she　could

imagine　Ruby　borrowing　somebody？s　pit　bull　and　posing　for　him　butt…naked；　teeth　bared。　？Good

for　him。？

？Well；　I　kind　of　thought　he？d　stay　here；　with　me；？　Ruby　mumbled。

？That？s　kind　of　a　tight　fit；？　Vanessa　muttered　back。　？But　that？s　cool。　We？ll　work　it　out。？

？That？s　the　thing；？　Ruby　corrected　her。　？Piotr　needs　a　studio。　And　since　he　can？t　afford　to　rent

one；　we　were　thinking　。　。　。　we？d　turn　the　other　room；　your　room；　into　his　studio。？

Ex…squeeze　me？
