One Whole And Perfect Day (2006) - Plot & Excerpts
It sprang out of nowhere, like a small violent cloud on the edge of a calm horizon, so small that at first you barely noticed it. Only when you looked again that little cloud had covered half the sky. They were sharing a bucket of chips on the lawn of the Eastern Quadrangle, the place where Jessaline had first glimpsed Clara with her boyfriend. Now Jessaline saw them again as she passed on her way to the bus-stop, to catch the number 147 which would take her to David Jones food hall in the city, where she would roam blissfully all afternoon, skipping her classes and gazing at exotic foodstuffs instead, planning menus for the restaurant she hoped to have one day. Wandering DJs was homework, Jessaline told herself, homework for her new career in Hospitality. She waved, and when Lonnie and Clara failed to notice her, Jessaline didn’t feel the least bit neglected, as she might have done only a few short weeks ago. Once you got a life, reflected Jessaline, you didn’t have time to feel touchy or paranoid.
