"In order to get the things I want, it helps me to pretend Iâ€™m a figure in a daytime drama, a schemer. Soap opera characters make emphatic pronouncements. They ball up their fists and state their goals out loud. â€˜I will destroy Buchanan Enterprises,â€™ they say. â€˜Phoebe Wallingford will pay for what sheâ€™s done to our family.â€™ Walking home with the back half of the twelve-foot ladder, I turned to look in the direction of Hughâ€™s loft. â€˜You will be mine,â€™ I commanded."
