Looking up -- and up and up and up, the woman was a giraffe -- at Tahani, Eleanor knew instantly she was going to fuck this up, and not for a silly reason like not finding her soulmate attractive, because she was in fact smoking hot, but because she was going to be way too smart for Eleanor to get away with this.
Tahani's accent spoke of places that Eleanor had never been (but Real Eleanor surely had, and Tahani would know if she lied) and she was already trying to talk about charity or morality or something, Eleanor had stopped listening when Tahani pulled her into a hug and she got distracted by her breasts.
Behind her, Eleanor could tell Michael was beaming (she could practically hear his excitement, gross) and she felt like she had to say something, anything that might be smart, so she said, "So how about that... New York Times?" and to her great surprise and delight, Tahani didn't seem suspicious at all -- instead she started talking about some editor who was a close personal friend of hers, so Eleanor allowed herself a small celebratory fist pump behind Tahani's back.
