This scene from STITCHES is taken from Chapter 7.
After Jean finds the stunning fabric in the bottom of the chest, she and Spence do a little fantasizing over a bottle of wine - too much wine. Here we have Jean waking up the next morning with a hangover and recalling the events of the previous evening..
---
Jean smiled as she thought about last night’s party for two. Through all five of Spence’s new albums, they’d sipped wine, fantasized about the fabric, and imagined the possibilities for what it could be. The fabric got pulled out and put away at least three times.
As the evening wound down, they laughed about their favorite TV show, Antiques Roadshow, a public television program of experts who estimated the worth of attic treasures from all over the country. She and Spence played out what the show’s experts might say about the fabric. Their favorite part of the program was when the most obscure object brought in an estimate far beyond what anyone could have imagined.
“Can you imagine, Spence, if we took this to Antiques Roadshow? ‘Ma’am, you have a national treasure...cha-ching!’ Should I weep or just start running around the studio whooping?” Spence roared with laughter as she practiced her various reactions.
Now, she pulled back the comforter and padded quickly to the bathroom, unprepared for the early morning chill. Coffee was what she needed, and also a few minutes to herself to look at the fabric with more sober eyes.

ReplyDeleteAntiques Road Show is one of the favorites around this household. Nice tie-in. This book has aspects that take it well beyond the initial description of boomer lit. A breakout book, I think.
