(Note: I briefly consider firing up the golf cart and gunning it across the sea of marigolds at the center of the circle to get within hearing distance, but fear that might attract a bit too much attention.)ġ0:07 p.m.: Subject Chloe slaps Subject Hammond across the face so hard I can see the fingerprint-shaped marks from here. She shoves him and shouts, but I can’t make it out from this distance. He sees the valet holding on to Subject Chloe and tears her away. Dutifully matching the girlfriend, of course. Uniform: Hugo Boss pinstripe suit, pink tie. A big one.)ġ0:06 p.m.: Subject Hammond Ross comes barreling through the door in a panic. (Assessment: Subjects Chloe and Hammond had a fight. One of the valets gamely grabs her arm and keeps her from hitting her butt. Subject Chloe starts back inside, thinks better of it, takes a step toward the parking lot, turns a heel, and almost goes down. Subject Hammond Ross drove her, of course. One reaches out to her for a ticket, which she doesn’t have. Uniform: pink dress, high heels, party hair. Position: Golf cart parked across the circle from the entrance of the Orchard Hill Country Club/Shannen Moore’s birthday extravaganza.Ĭover: If anyone asks, I lost a diamond earring while out on the links today and I’m checking all the carts before busting out the metal detector on the back nine.ġ0:05 p.m.: Subject Chloe Appleby exits the front door in tears. Title: He is so not worth it.ĭaily Field Journal of Annie Johnston Saturday, June 26 Summary: Told in two voices, Allie and Jake continue to be bombarded by family issues and pressures from the “Cresties” and their poorer counterparts as they spend a summer dealing with the fallout of their breakup.
