Alex came over to put his arms around me. “She really does care about you, doesn’t she?” he said.

“Like I said, she’s been more like my guardian angel than my roommate,” I told him. “She can be a little pushy sometimes, but it’s nice to know she’s got my back.”

As the two young people retreated to Elle’s bedroom, Terri walked along the sun-splashed sidewalk until she came to a little sidewalk cafe. Spotting her two friends waiting at a table, she waved and asked the waiter for a drink as she sat down.

“Well,” one of the women said, “don’t keep us in suspense. Did it work out like you hoped?”

“Yes!” Terri exulted, pumping her fist in triumph. “I finally got Alex out of that Superman costume and the two of them together. They’re back at the apartment now, and judging by the way they were looking at each other, they’re going to be together for a long time!”

The other woman shook her head in admiration. “I have to hand it to you, Terri: you’ve got the touch.”

Terri lowered her eyes with obvious false modesty. “It was nothing,” she said. “Of course for a while I wasn’t too sure about the boy. When I first saw him wearing that costume I thought he was a crazy man, a meshugener. But Elle was obviously entranced by him, and after I learned more about him I realized he was a good man who’d been badly hurt by the bitch he’d married. Even though they were divorced, it was obvious to me that she still had an evil influence over him. I figured that if I was going to get Elle and him together I’d have to do something to break that curse.”

The second friend leaned forward. “So how did you do it?”

“Well,” Terri went on, “I did have a little help. My sister works at the same law firm as the bitch, and she gave me the inside scoop on what was going on there. All I had to do then was call a blogger I know at Gawker and give her the juicy stuff. When the story broke, that was all it took to expose the ex-wife and give her what she deserved. Once that happened, Alex was freed from her curse, just like I figured.”

“Perfect!” her friend exclaimed.

“You think that’s good?” Terri went on smugly. “Wait till you hear what else I’ve done for Elle.”

“Well” the second woman said, “come on. What have you done now?”

Terri reached into her voluminous handbag and pulled out a sheaf of papers.

“What is it?” the first woman asked.

“It’s a book contract for Elle!” Terri said triumphantly. “She’s never believed she was good enough, but I knew better. So I took a copy of her manuscript, pretended to be her agent and sent it off to a publisher. Sure enough, they’ve offered her a contract.”

She winked at the other ladies. “Maybe it will turn out to be my wedding present to her!”

The second woman shook her head in admiration and raised her glass. “I nominate Terri Feldman for Yenta of the Year!”

The three women laughed and drained their glasses. Terri looked at her friends and smiled. “I don’t know about that, but I do know one thing,” she said. “If you want to get something done, it doesn’t take a costume or super powers. All you need is a little chutzpah.”
