I STRODE into the airport lounge, stepped up to the bar, and tossed my bag
on the chair beside me.
“What will you have?” the bartender set a coaster in front of me.
“A gin and tonic, please,” I pulled out my wallet. “Make it a double.”
I was heading home. Liquid fortitude was in order.
My phone vibrated.
“Hey, Mom.”
“Sweetheart, how are you?”
“I’m fine.”
“Your dad and I are excited to see you.”
I didn’t bother to hide the amusement in my voice, “Mom, only two
months ago, you were at my graduation.”
It had been no small accomplishment to persuade my parents to let me
spend the summer in New York after I graduated from University, but they
had caved.
“Rory, you know what I mean. We’re happy that you’re moving back
home. It’s been a long four years.”
I begged to differ. It had been the greatest four years of my life. Wanting
to be independent, I had picked a university far from home. But now my bid
for freedom was ending, and the prodigal daughter was returning home.
I loved my parents. As helicopter as they were, they loved me.
Sometimes too much.
“It’ll be nice to be back in Vancouver.”
“It thrills your father you’ll be working with him. He’s been talking
about it for weeks.”
The tension in my stomach grew tighter. My father always wanted a son
to follow him into his business. But since I was his only child that lovely
honor now fell onto my shoulders.
Crushing me.
I had no intention of joining my father in his business, but we
negotiated a deal four years ago. If he let me go to university in New York,
I would return to Vancouver and intern with him for one year upon
graduation.
“I think they’re calling my flight for boarding, Mom,” I lied. “I should
go check.”
“Okay. Your father and I have a charity benefit tonight, so we’ll send
the car for you.”
“Sure, sounds fine.” My parents enjoyed significant societal
commitments. Warm airport welcomes were not something we did as a
family.
“Love you, Rory.”
“See you soon, Mom.”
I hung up the phone. Not caring that it was only noon, I motioned for
the bartender to pour me another gin and tonic. Boarding started in 30
minutes and I needed liquid courage to get on my flight.
A man approached the bar. I studied him from beneath my eyelashes.
Smoking hot.
