“To my wonderful daughter, happy birthday, darling.” My father,
Charles DeLaurie the Third, held up a crystal flute to toast.
“Cheers to one of the last birthdays you’ll actually enjoy getting older,” my
mother teased and took a deep swallow of champagne.
I sipped the pink liquid, letting the bubbles dissolve in a tart fizz on my
tongue.
We were having dinner at The Dunes country club, in a private room. We
never dined at home as a family. For one, the cavernous dining room and
mile-long table didn’t exactly suit a cozy family dinner. For another, my
parents were so busy, they could only be found in the same room for special
occasions. I was lucky my birthday had merited them coordinating their
schedules to be here tonight. They hadn’t managed last year.
Soft music played in the background, and the gentle clink of cutlery on fine
china from the adjacent dining room filled the silence as we ate.
“So, darling, how is freshman year? Some of the best years of my life were
at Hade Harbor University,” Dad reminisced. “Are you enjoying living on
campus? Are you sure you don’t want to rent a place nearby?”
“Charles, Winter wants to be like her peers. What is college for if not living
in a sorority and having fun?” Mom nibbled at her steamed spinach. After
arriving home yesterday from a month-long wellness retreat in India, she
had announced she was vegan now.
“She can still have fun with her own place,” Dad pointed out.
“I’m fine on campus. I like the sorority house, and after all, Mom’s a
legacy…” I trailed off. Honestly, I couldn’t have cared less about the
sorority, but I’d take the sorority house over my own apartment.
Mom nodded. “Zeta Pi Nu prepares young women for life after school. It’s
an invaluable experience for a young woman. Let her make her own
choices.”
“As long as you’re happy with it, darling,” Dad said, and squeezed my
hand.
I lit up for a moment at the touch. His attention was like a beam of sunlight
falling on my face, always too fleeting and precious.
“I am.”
“So, there anyone special in your life lately?” Mom asked after a moment,
wincing slightly as she took another mouthful of steamed spinach.
“No, no one. I’m not really thinking about dating right now,” I admitted.
Honestly, getting in a relationship with some guy who was just going to
disappoint me, or worse, get close to me because I was rich, wasn’t
something I was eager to do. People lied and manipulated, and pretended to
care, just to benefit themselves in some way. What was even the point?
The point is avoiding the cardboard cutout bankers’sons your dad fixes you
up with.
Right, there was that
