JENNIFER ELIA
“I don’t suppose you can spare your oldest and dearest friend a few
hours so I can solicit all the juicy honeymoon details from you?”
“Well, hello to you too, Megan,” I laughed.
“Oh, come on. I’m living vicariously through you, Jen. Remember? Not all of
us are lucky enough to marry a gorgeous man who spoils his wife with
expensive goods and exotic trips to distant shores.”
“Fine. I’ll pick you up at seven.”
Megan was in town for a few more days. I did miss her terribly since she’d
moved to the coast to be with her family. They were very close, which was
something for which I’d always envied her.
“Great. Hey, I keep meaning to ask. How’s your mom, Jen?”
“The same. Every time I see her, I look for signs that she’s in there
somewhere. But then the veil drops, and she retreats into her own world.
Wherever that is.”
“Alzheimer’s is a terrible disease. I’m so sorry, my friend.”
“Thanks, Megs. Anyway, gotta go. I’ll see you tonight.”
“Sure. Enjoy your day, Princess Elia.”
“Haha. See you later.”
I kicked off the covers and stretched lazily. Paul had already left for work, so
all was quiet except for the sound of a leaf blower’s high-pitched screeching
coming from outside. The estate my husband of exactly three weeks and I
lived on, was immaculately kempt. Trimmed hedges, pristine flowerbeds,
swept driveways–everything was just so perfect. I was sure the gardeners
carried with them tape measures to ensure absolute precision when it came to
pruning the plethora of rose bushes.
It wasn’t the sort of wealth I’d been accustomed to while growing up. Dad
passed away after a short illness when I was ten and after that, Mom, Tristan
and I were left to our own devices. My mother was a hard worker. She did
her level best, but it wasn’t easy. The money from Dad’s insurance policy ran
out after a few years, despite Mom’s frugality. It wasn’t cheap raising two
children. Mom often worked two jobs, so my younger brother and I learned
pretty quickly how to look after ourselves.
