Zoe's Story - The A-Z of Trophy Wives, #26

They're young, beautiful, with fast cars and luxury homes-with absentee, older husbands. Bored and lonely, each of our trophy wives has her own solution. Zoe loves to party, but her husband, twenty-three years older, is past the partying stage. Every time he accompanies her, he's a total wet blanket and ruins her fun. Eventually, they reach a compromise. Except for family dos, if they go to a cocktail party, they separate.
He finds like-minded drinking buddies in the kitchen, and she mingles with the dancing crowd elsewhere. For Zoe, it's harmless fun, a little booze, a little dancing, a little flirting, but for some of their regular hosts, it's getting to the point where the teasing has to stop. The next Friday night party is going to be a party too far for Zoe. Throw in an aging pop star her friend has always had a major crush on, meaning she needs Zoe to run interference with his entourage.
