Chapter 18 of LenaDunham's VerifiedStrangersonVogue is here!
Whenever she was faced with anything resembling conflict, Ally resorted to child-like magical thinking. She would snap her lids closed and hope that she could shake herself into a new reality, like those dreams where you recognize there may be a way out and so start digging your way toward consciousness. She was aware it was a stalling technique, like an ostrich burying its head, and yet she always thought this time would be the one time when it worked.
“Caz, of course. Uh, yeah. We should all talk.” Ally offered Caz a nervous half-smile that Caz ignored, nodding to Timmy instead like they were the one who had said it. Matthew watched as Caz decamped for the kitchen, a move that highlighted the stark reality of this momen: he was behind the screen door and no one had invited him in.
“But you don’t even know what ‘this’ is,” he pushed. It was so like him to keep iron-clad boundaries when she needed something, yet the moment it was about his inner-life, he was ready to mow hers down. Since their breakup, Ally had spent more time thinking about her appearance than she had during the previous thirty years of her life. There’s nothing like someone slowly backing out of the room while pretending that they’re still right there with you to convince you that there’s an inherent problem with the curl of your bangs, the mole on your left eyebrow or the spread of your upper thigh.
