“…and now I’m just…this…close…to snagging a guy with all that money,” Torrey finishes, gasping at herself, blushing bright pink and wiping her mouth.
“Goodness, maybe I’d better stop having wine with my highlights before I spill all my ugly secrets.”
“That’s okay, doll, “says the stylist. “There’s many a slip ‘twixt the cup and the lip. “
“I don’t think that means what you think it means,” Torrey snaps, waving her empty glass for a refill. “You’d better not have jinxed me.”

cool… (I was bouncing that quote around in my head before the light-hearted tale that I ended up writing got it’s teeth in)… and, like the stylist (Jermaine Troye, right? That is his name, yes?*), prior to my research I would very likely have had a limited explanation of the meaning of the old proverb.
good six.
*lol… no, I have no idea why that was part of my comment

And I am hoping she isn’t wearing her favourite tee, just in case 😀
