Cold Coffee

Eleanor Vivienne Carter. IMG Models Worldwide. 19 y/o. 5'9". Caucasian. Deep brown hair. Green eyes. For all bookings and business arrangements, please go to Thomas Hallenstein @ IMG Models, NYC - 960-144563.

Eleanor Vivienne Carter hates her profile photo for the agency. She's looking at the ground in it, which, to her, just lengthens her already rather huge nose. You also can't see her eyes properly in it, which she refers to as her best feature. She doesn't like how they put her name in there too. Her name is Vivienne, or Vi, not Eleanor.

Eleanor is cowardly, or shy or whatever, and Vivienne radiates confidence. Eleanor is smart, and awkward, with bushy eyebrows. Vivienne just signed a contract with one of the largest, most renowned modelling agencies in the world. They're both the same person really, just alter egos. One of them, the person she is, and the other who she wishes she was.

Peter wished he was editing the newspapers he was serving people with the coffee, that he truly sucked at making. Unfinished degrees didn't look the best on job resumes, but he couldn't afford another year at college, so he dropped out to go to the Big Apple.

It was much bigger than anticipated, and he was quickly swallowed up in the smog. His brother's tiny coffee shop on a side street in Manhattan was his temporary safe house, until he was able to stand on his own two feet.

Vivienne is the person Peter saw on the billboards across the street, and in the magazine campaigns on the table. Eleanor's the person he recognised in the corner of his brother's coffee shop, one gloomy New York City afternoon.
