Summary
“Carol."
Zosia Bartoś has said Sturka on panel shows and she has said my colleague on Twitter and she has said "the anchor at Liberty" in interviews and she has said "Carol Sturka" the full two-word name in writing, but she has not said Carol, just Carol, since a hotel room in Cincinnati ten years ago.
"You can say gay on television.”
Someone in the audience gasps, another says oh my god too loudly into a mic that should have been dead and the room comes apart.
or
Carol Sturka is a closeted conservative anchor. Zosia Bartoś is her progressive ex. Netflix has them on a stage in 8 swing states for 4 months.

Summary
Two years after the Unjoining, she saw Zosia in London, of all places – nearly unrecognizable in her winter attire – bundled up to her nose. But Carol felt her presence like a sawed-off shotgun wound to her stomach. The sight of her eyes peeking over the edge of her scarf, sparkling with mirth as she shouldered the woman she was walking with –
Well, it was fucking devastating.
‘Who is Carol?’ Spray-painted in canary yellow, stood out against the rain-darkened concrete of the building across the street from The Ritz where Carol was staying.

Summary
For Carol, the next best thing to being good was being put in her place. If she couldn’t allow herself surrender, too preoccupied with her worthiness to let go enough to succumb, then she’d let Helen make her.
Helen scoffed, scowled for a split second that stretched. Then, movement, “Brat.”
Pain, sharp and biting. Carol’s cheek stung, smarted in the shape of Helen’s palm. Carol whimpered like she might cry, and maybe even felt tears well, but there was no true upset. Not like this.
(carol receives an email; helen picks up the pieces)
