"It's like in the great stories... The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger, they were. And sometimes you didn't want to know the end, because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it's only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines, it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something, even if you were too small to understand why."

HAHAHAHHAHA! Oh I just love the idea of everyone waiting for her, just knowing what she's up to. And Zoe's expression of "you've doubled our mascara bill".

It has to be about her. There is something running in this family that makes the women - and Zoe - genetically capable of making themselves the centre of attention.
I like the absurdity of it: everyone knows it's fake but it still is dramatic. A tramody.
