“Getting divorced at fifty-two was not on my bingo card, but neither was getting cheated on with a younger male receptionist and yet, here we are.” Cate has to laugh at her own suffering to avoid having a breakdown. And breakdowns were never good on your skin. She sips on her glass of wine, the most expensive bottle she could find at the winery in order to spend as much of Ben Cohen’s money before their divorced was finalized. “But that’s enough about my miseries. How has your year been, my dear? I feel like I’ve been babbling for ages about myself.” / @aspencreekextra
''it's better to be divorced than miserable. besides, there's nothing stopping you from finding a younger receptionist for yourself or even a good-looking personal chef.'' angelene laughs at her own suggestion, concealing half of her smile behind the rims of her wine glass. ''no, please go on. i don't mind. i don't even want to think about anything right now other than this wine.'' she swallows the sudden indignation along with the aged merlot, refusing to let her resentment reflect on her perfectly polished surface. the truth is that she doesn't wish to speak of it — it , like it's an object and not a living girl begotten by her husband.
it was unlikely for atticus to talk to costumers on the daily. sure, occasionally someone would reach out to the librarian in order to locate something within the isles but, for the most part, his job was to make sure that the books were organized and back in their rightful place after the clients were done with them. it made him happy. and that’s what he’s doing, placing books back in the shelves, when he spots a blonde waltzing in. it spikes his curiosity and he’s unable to stop himself from approaching. “ hello, mrs gibson. ” he politely smiles, still holding a few books in his arms. it wasn’t hard to know who she was — just one of the most important housewives of aspen creek. “ can i help you with anything today? ”
''good day, atticus,'' she greets in return, allowing a genuine smile to accompany her words. arbitrarily, out of habit at this point, she runs a sleek hand over her skirt, straightening the already ironed and smooth fabric of her tailored clothes. ''yes, actually. i could rather use your help. i have a list of fifteen books that i plan to purchase for some leisure reading, but ... '' pausing for a moment, angelene seizes the opportunity to step closer, letting the sound of her heels enhance the gravity of her following request. ''there's another thing. how well can you keep a secret?''
hey, isn’t that ANGELENE CONTI GIBSON, who looks a little like ELIZABETH DEBICKI? i hear SHE is a THIRTY-EIGHT year old WOMAN who works as an OWNER OF ELEVATE FITNESS who has been in town for TWENTY-EIGHT YEARS. they ARE a member of one of aspen creek’s founding families. you can usually find them at MAPLE GROOVE or LA BELLA VITTA. if you ask me, they remind me a lot of A SLENDER NECK ADORNED WITH PALE PEARLS, ICY BLONDE WISPS OF HAIR PERFECTLY PULLED IN A BUN, THE FAINT SCENT OF WHITE OLEANDERS. just keep an eye on them & see if their true colors shine through!

brief spark notes.
originally born and raised in washington, d.c. moved to aspen creek with her parents around the time she was 10. her parents always pushed her to be the best, but for the first couple of years, she felt like such a foreign body in north carolina, despite also coming from a wealthy family.
as much as she tried to sell a certain image, getting pregnant as a teenager ( the age may be subject to change if necessary ) really threw her off-kilter, and forced angelene to rebrand the picture she was trying to sell.
was always the type of mother who had everything under control. her clothes were never dirty, but always prim and proper and ironed to perfection, her make-up was always done and no strand of hair was ever allowed to go astray. she was a woman carved from marble, a paragon of discipline, cold and untouchable. she never baked nor did any chores, but still made sure that her house always smelled clean.
despite having a child so young, she earned a degree in anthropology and finished her education, though she never really used it for anything other than decoration.
known for many things, such as being a little blonde cunty mom, who always has her nose high up in the air. does pilates regularly, has a personal trainer, runs marathons, plays tennis, dines out and buys too many shoes at once. if you dare to cut, she's the type to bleed blue ( in a place like aspen ).
with that being said, she does very much love her daughter and attempts to show that love in any way that she can. you know, she may be a bitch to others, but she still cares for her baby too much.
truly the queen of aspeen creek's trophy wives and housewives. she even owns a business on the side that loses like 10 k per year. just kidding.
