May 2024 – Siasconset, Nantucket Island
From the kitchen, Hilary could hear all nine of her Salt Sisters out on
the veranda. Their laughter swam out across the bluffs and echoed over
the Nantucket Sound, and the clinking of their wineglasses and forks
was like music. Hilary slid a knife through the final pieces of gruyère
cheese, finished the cheese plate with a big bowl of sliced mango, and
hurried back into the May evening to join them.
“Hilary! Settle something for us, will you?” This was Stella Turnbilt,
Hilary’s longtime friend—the first-ever Salt Sister besides Hilary. “Which
film won the Academy Award in 1993?”
“In 1993?” Hilary pretended to think, dotting her finger against her
chin. “That was a weird year if I remember correctly.”
Of course, she remembered. She’d been there, hadn’t she? She’d lived
it.
“She knows everything about Hollywood,” Stella whispered to Robby,
pretending to be secretive. “It’s a funny game we play sometimes. Seeing
how much trivia she carries around in that massive brain of hers.”
Hilary waited a few more seconds to brew up suspense, then said, “In
1993, Clint Eastwood’s Unforgiven won Best Picture.”
“Unforgiven?” Robby asked, scrunching up her nose. “What is that?”
“Exactly,” Hilary said. “It was a weird year. But I’m not really a big fan
of westerns. Maybe it had more staying power with some other people.”
“My husband loved westerns,” Robby said, speaking of her late
husband. “I swear, whenever he had a few hours to himself, he always put
on one Clint Eastwood film or another. I could never figure it out. Did he
want to be a cowboy? Was that it?”
“What films do you put on when you have some time to kill?” Hilary
asked.
Robby blushed. “Romantic comedies, I guess. Anything by Nora
Ephron.”
“She’s the queen,” Hilary said.
She considered telling Robby about when Nora Ephron had come to Los
Angeles to beg Isabella to be in one of her films. At the time, Isabella had
been married to Larry, and Larry had wanted to do another film—
something in the action sphere that required a beautiful female lead.
Isabella had gone with Larry’s film, and the young actress who’d taken on
Nora’s role had had a marvelous career. Isabella and Larry’s action film had
died at the box office—a rarity in Isabella Helin’s world.
Hilary removed a grape from the vine and chewed it delicately as she
listened to the Salt Sisters’ discussion, which shifted from Hollywood films
to books they’d read to difficulties they’d had that week—even doing the
most mundane tasks. Tina confessed that she’d called off work and lain in
bed for eight hours, staring at the ceiling and wondering if she would ever
get back up again.
“Grief can come out of nowhere like that,” Stella said. “You think
you’re fine one day, and you’re flat on your back the next.”
Tina sighed. “I felt like such a failure, though. I’ve made so much
progress the past few years.”
“One bad day doesn’t negate all those years of work,” Stella assured
her, glancing at Hilary curiously.
