Sloane
my mom once told me that to make a marriage work, one had to
compromise. “You don’t get everything you want,” she’d said.
“Ooh, it has a pool,” she says now, as she sits at my bar, her plate of
dinner long gone. I’ve washed all the dishes—pots and pans too—and a
certain level of exhaustion invades my bones.
“What are you going to do with a pool in Pittsburgh?” I hang up the
dishtowel that hasn’t seen this much action in months and turn to face her.
She doesn’t so much as glance up from my laptop. The one I need to call
my best friend and find out the situation with our trip. He’d texted during my
last showing, and my mother ambushed me literally at my car as I’d said
good-bye to my clients. If my SUV had been unlocked, she’d have been
lurking in the passenger seat.
Talking on the drive here. Me cooking something last-minute. More
talking. Her going on and on about how the house she’s shared with my
father for the past twenty-five years is too big now. It feels so empty, she’d
said an hour ago. Wistfully.
Other times, she talks about Dad like he’s the devil himself. I don’t really
blame her. I’d had no idea he wasn’t happy in his marriage of thirty-three
years. I’ve said very little about Dad since Mom took me to lunch and told
me the news.
Some of the things she’s said…
I can’t go there right now, so I paste a tight smile on my face. “Does it
have a gym?”
Mom’s been looking at condos and fifty-five-plus communities, which I
suppose I can’t blame her for. I wouldn’t want to do yard work and home
improvement or maintenance—things she’s literally never had to manage on
her own.
