"I think I just bankrupted myself."

"Haha, squandered your inheritance already?"

"No."

"Sorry, couldn't resist. So, how have you bankrupted yourself?"

"Well, you know how it's London Fashion Week? Well, I went to the Julien Macdonald show and I think I want to buy at least three of his designs. "

"Only three? Surely that's a good day."

"Oh, no, just wait. I then went to the Marchesa viewing and well, things went down hill from there. I think I bought one of everything from the collection!"

"One of everything?"

"Daniel, you don't understand!"

"No, I don't."

"They were just all so... gorgeous!"

"They're clothes, Sophie."

"How dare you!"

"Were they really that nice?"

"Definitely."

"And how much did it set you back?"

"A lot."

"A lot?"

"A lot, a lot."

"That much, huh?"

"God, I feel sick."

"Serves you right."

"C'mon, be a little more supportive, will you?"

"No, I'm good thanks. I couldn't care less about any of this."

"Blasphemous! You better start caring before Paris. I swear if you turn up there with this attitude, I'll put you on the first Eurostar out of there!"

"I think I can muster up a little enthusiasm for your mother's show, if only because I want to impress her."

"Impress her? Why?" 

"Because she's your mum."

"Still don't see why you need to impress her, though. Just be yourself and she'll like you."

"Are you sure?"

"It's the accent. If you speak with an upper class English accent then my mother will literally fall at you feet and fawn all over you."

"For real?"

"It's a Mr Darcy thing. Plus, why do you think she married my father?"

"She married your father because of his accent?"

"No, she married him for love and money, probably."

"Whatever. What are you doing now?"

"I'm at the office with my new assistant, Kizzy, going over polaroids from today."

"You're working? But it's almost ten pm, Sophie."

"I know, but I still have work to do. I need to write the commentaries about each show and choose the best looks from each show for the website."

"Can't that wait until tomorrow?"

"Not for me, no. I'm almost done anyway. Kizzy's being rather helpful and I have Deacon and Henley here with their illustrations, so I won't be here much longer."
