The Good Wife - Alicia
The new business cards and stationery arrived earlier. Cool ivory in color, elegant lettering. Understated, professional. Just the right statement for her new firm.
Alicia pours herself a glass of wine.
A fluttering of nerves is of course perfectly normal. The last years have steeled her for this; that much she knows for certain.
Something else she has also learned. Her insides can be smooth surfaces for one moment, and a gaping black hole will open the next, sucking her in and swallowing her whole.
