As Evelyn drove home, the city lights blurred into a streak of silver and gold. She wasn't a "legacy act" or a "comeback story." She was a woman in her prime, finally playing the lead in a life she had written herself.
In her twenties, she was the "Ingénue"—a flutter of eyelashes and scripted innocence. In her thirties, she was the "Magnetic Lead," always defined by the man she was standing next to. But now, in the golden hour of her career, Evelyn was finally something better: she was the Architect.
