Julia was a mystery Nicole desperately wanted to unlock; try on for size. She had a routine she went through. First, she’d wait for George, the driver, to have his attention elsewhere. Then she’d take off her pantyhose, stuff them in her bag, pull out a cigarette and matches. Julia was far too cool for a lighter. She would light her cigarette while in the process of getting onto her back and putting her feet (bare) out the window. She’d shake out the match, and as soon as her back was flush with the seat she’d flick it out the window while exhaling a huge line of smoke. On anyone else this would have been trashy or ended in disaster. Not Julia. Promptly upon finishing her cigarette, Julia would perform an almost acrobatic move. She would pull her legs in, pivoting on her butt to a sitting position, while flicking her cigarette out the window. Each time she did this Nicole would hold her breath thinking “that cigarette’s going to hit the window and ricochet and burn her on the ankle/leg/thigh/face/cringe!”.
