"Sometimes I find it fascinating that people think the most interesting thing about me is that I dated Tate McCarthy. We were together for a couple years while he briefly attended Cornell. Met in an Intro to Economics required class - I didn't know anything about him, just that he was glued to his phone and liked to steal my notes. Took me a minute to realize he was flirting with me until I wrote him a scathing peer review on a project, and he in turn asked my roommate, who he knew, for my number. I think that's what I want to get across most about him - that he knew everyone, but in a genuine way. He authentically asked questions and remembered answers, was very rarely half engaged unless he was miserably hungover. We came from very different worlds but he never treated me lesser than anyone else...just integrated me into his life that to him, seemed normal. To me, it was a whirlwind of excess that I, at the time, couldn't grapple with. By the time he was contemplating dropping out I wasn't very nice about it, and when he decided he was going to go we slowly fell apart. I stayed, focused on my studies that had always been my first priority, and moved to New York immediately after graduating - transparently, he lent me his family's broker to help me get my own apartment. I have this funny feeling he just bought the place and gave me an insane rent deal, but I can't complain. I think we've always wanted the best for one another, but we were just two different people in two different places. There was a lot of love there, and we're still in touch....ironically, where I work handles some of the McCarthy accounts."

DAY "She'll throw you off. Honestly when you see Rosie you're immediately aware of how hot she is. And how hot she knows she is. She's got the brain to back it all up, but you know her clients just sit there and nod their heads because they're trying to stop imagining fucking her on her desk. It's better when you catch her in some down time - she can actually be funny, and it's big that she doesn't have an issue speaking up when she has something to say. She works insane hours too, just like the rest of us, and will go along with whatever we start scheming when it's a long, late night. Not gonna lie, I think she knows about the office pool we have for who's gonna sleep with her first. Maybe she'll rig it. Anyways, we all know finance is a boys club, but she's gotten her foot in the door and you've gotta respect that." - ROB MCKENZIE, FELLOW ANALYST NIGHT "I met Rosie at Jac's on Bond - she's the kinda girl that just walks through the door and everyone stares, she's so undeniably hot. A seat at the bar had just opened up beside me and she slid right in - took the cue to buy her and her friends a round to talk to her. She was quiet at first, almost a little uncomfortable, but by the time she finished her drink conversation started to flow. I could tell she was smart, and had this dry sense of humor that drew us in beyond her looks. It was funny - she mentioned offhand that going out wasn't always her scene, but she seemed at ease entertaining a crowd. Said she learned it from an ex boyfriend. Anyways, her whole crew came back to our place for after hours and we hung out until the sunrise. Rosie and I split off to get bagels in the morning, and then went back where I got some of the best head of my life. Wish she'd left her phone number, but hope I'll catch her out again sometime." - NICHOLAS BRAUN, ACTOR* *(Rosie didn't watch Succession)
