The manager of the Morrisey apartment building gave the stack of
papers she held two quick taps on the podium to straighten the edges.
The sound of the paper hitting the surface cracked through the lobby
like a whip, straightening the spines of my neighbors, who’d been slouching
more and more as the meeting dragged on.
“Nancy didn’t have a podium before, did she?” my best friend, Ripley,
whispered.
I shook my head. The podium was definitely new.
But after five years away from Seattle, I was more surprised by how
much hadn’t changed at the Morrisey than what had. I couldn’t believe
Nancy had convinced everyone to keep up these monthly building
meetings, for one.
“That’s it for our agenda items, everyone,” Nancy Lewandowski said,
index finger traveling down her list one more time. “Oh, actually, we have
one last announcement. I forgot that Laurence isn’t the only resident
returning to us this month.”
The small reading glasses balanced on the tip of Nancy’s nose wobbled
precariously as her gaze swept through the rows of people uncomfortably
hunched in decades-old plastic folding chairs.
Nancy’s sharp eyes latched on to me. “Ah, there you are. I’d like to
officially welcome Meg Dawson back to 5A.” She clapped, glaring around
the room as if she would write down the names of anyone who didn’t give
me a warm enough “welcome back.”
To be honest, she probably would. That was our Nance: fierce, loyal,
slightly terrifying, but part of my chosen family. Despite my less-than-ideal
reason for returning to the Morrisey, I was happy to be back around these
people.
Enthusiastic applause rose from the crowd, and a few of my neighbors
turned to wave or grin in my direction. Despite having known most of these
people all my life, heat still crept up my neck at having to be the center of
attention. I ducked my head and raised a hand to return their greetings while
I secretly counted down the seconds until their concentration would move
off me once more.
“We’re so happy to have our little Nutmeg back in the building.” Nancy
squeezed her shoulders up almost to her ears in her excitement.
“It’s just Meg now, actually,” I muttered.
“Louder,” Ripley urged.
I shot my friend a glower that told her she should know better than to
think I was going to voice a concern in a group setting.
Nance continued on. “We can’t wait to see the artistic masterpieces you
create up there on the fifth floor, honey.” She fixed me with a maternal
smile that would’ve normally erased any annoyance I’d felt at her use of my
childhood nickname a moment ago.
