Why this must be read:
For all that I loved Lauren, I admit that her character was far from consistent--or, perhaps, she was the best deceiver of them all. Lauren’s motivations and feelings were never a certainty: did she truly love Vaughn? Did she love Sark? Both? Neither?
“Worth” takes a look at Lauren’s relationships with both these men, without diminishing any of the characters involved.

- Sark pulls the trigger.
She watches the rain wash away the blood on the pavement. She holds the umbrella over Sark and the body.
That evening, when she and Sark have shed their wet attire, she will sneak off into the bathroom once again to call Michael.
This time, he answers on the third ring.
Something is wrong.
They talk briefly.
He does not miss her.
She hangs up and sits on the floor next to the bathtub. She feels numb.
It is only when Sark knocks on the door the next morning does she realize where she is. And who she’s with.
