“I heard her hair stylist has less Instagram followers than she does.”
Tabby snapped her gum from the backseat of the Mercedes GLE. “And
she has, like, four thousand? I mean, just let the butcher at Balducci’s
do your hair and be done with it.”
“She’s flaunting those bangs like it’s 1999. No one has the guts to tell
her they look awful on curly hair.” Reggie snickered. “And her balayage is
downright orange.”
Tabitha and Regina Ballantine, ladies and gentlemen.
My stepsisters.
Between them, they produced enough venom to kill a well-populated
island.
My stepmother Vera tutted from her spot behind the steering wheel.
“Now, now, girls. That’s not very charitable.” The words didn’t match
her vicious giggles. “Sylvia is a nice girl. A little plain, but that’s not her
fault. Have you seen her mother?”
Tabby scoffed. “Unfortunately.”
I bit my lip as hard as I could, stifling the urge to point out that Sylvia
Hall had just passed the bar after graduating magna cum laude from
Georgetown. Her head had more to offer the world than an overpriced
haircut.
But I wasn’t in a position to say anything.
One, because the Ballantine women hated my guts, and everything I
said would be used against me.
And two, because I was quite literally not in a position to speak—
nestled in the trunk, balled into a fetal position, breathing as shallowly as
possible to keep my presence unknown.
The SUV rolled past Potomac’s manicured lawns. Outside, the air had
thickened with blooming flowers. All I smelled was Tabby’s riding boots. A
mixture of manure, hay, and whatever stable boy she’d wrapped her legs
around this week.
“Are we almost there?” Reggie smacked her lips, snapping something
shut. “I’m low-key excited, you know? I’ve never been to Zach Sun’s
house.”
“Take a picture, because this’ll be your first and last time.” Tabby
snorted. “I don’t even know why you’re making us go, Mom. Everyone
knows Constance Sun would carve out a kidney if it meant her son will
marry whomever she chooses.”
“Zachary Sun has a mind of his own. If he decides he wants one of you
ladies for a bride, no one will stop him.”
If nothing else, I admired Vera Ballantine’s eternal optimism. Tabby and
Reggie were about as desirable as chronic wasting disease. A lethal
combination of high maintenance and low IQ.
“Besides…” Vera switched the station to classical, even though she
didn’t know Yo-Yo Ma from Yo Gabba Gabba. “There’ll be other rich,
influential men there, ready to be bagged. There’s that duke… Oliver
something?”
“Von Bismarck.” Tabby gagged. “The man is a certified skirt chaser.
He’ll probably give me an STD if he breathes in my direction.”
Reggie snorted. “It’s cute how you pretend you’re not interested.”
“Pulling out my Uno reverse card, sissy.”
“For your information, he once invited me to his mansion on the Amalfi
Coast.”
“Only you and every other woman with a pulse.” Tabby clucked her
tongue. “Wow. If I were you, I’d start designing those wedding invitations
right away.”
