Since our fateful encounter at Mattingly College, they have become my dearest confidantes. It still astounds me that fate, embodied by an obscure housing committee in Vermont, united us. Sabrina, a refined Manhattan heiress, and Cleo, an artistic soul hailing from New Orleans, are improbable counterparts to a small-town Indiana girl like myself.
