MATT
Matt turns his Porsche into the driveway and stops at the sight before
him. Fifteen large boxes stacked five across in towers of three block his
garage. Bleary eyed and exhausted from his flight, he stares. Somebody
screwed up a delivery, because this is too large of an online order to
forget. These boxes aren’t his.
Sucks for whoever they do belong to. It’s monsoon season.
He glances up at the sky. Bloated clouds are moving in fast and he’s
not leaving his silver metallic baby outside overnight. The boxes,
however, will remain in the driveway unless the owner lives nearby and
can pick them up before the rain starts. There’s only so much space he’s
willing to give up in his garage.
Grabbing his phone, he unfolds from the car, intent on moving the
boxes out of the way and calling the number on the shipping label. But
what he reads stops him cold. SHIP TO: MRS. ELIZABETH HOLLOWAY C/O
MATTHEW GATLIN.
His grandmother. What the fuck?
He hasn’t seen or heard from her since he was eighteen, when he
moved out of her house and left California. That was twelve years ago.
Alarming that she knows where he lives. But not as disturbing as the
boxes being left in his care.
Matt grips the back of his neck and looks up and down the street.
Please don’t tell him she’ll show up next.
To say they have a complicated relationship is an overstatement.
Their relationship is nonexistent. Elizabeth Holloway made sure of it
after his mom’s death. Which prompts another thought . . .
Maybe Elizabeth finally croaked.
For one glorious, fantastical second, giddy satisfaction explodes
inside him. God rest her soul, but trust him: ever since he moved away,
his life has been better without her in it.
But the feeling doesn’t last long. If she were dead, the boxes would
have been addressed specifically to him and sent with an explanation. A
phone call giving him a heads-up that he had inherited her belongings
would have been nice. A letter informing him of her passing would have
been sufficient. Anything but this inconvenient and unwanted surprise.
Only one way to find out what’s going on and stop this impending
train wreck.
He calls the number on the label, reading the return address. Weird,
they were shipped from Pasadena. His grandmother lives in Beverly
Hills. She inherited her house from Matt’s great-grandfather, a producer
who made his riches during Hollywood’s golden age. Matt can’t imagine
she would have sold the place and moved out.
A woman answers after the fourth ring. “Rosemont Assisted Living
and Memory Care, this is Julia. How may I direct your call?”
Ah, that explains the address.
Matt mentally calculates Elizabeth’s age, putting her at eighty-three.
He wonders what she did with the house.
“Elizabeth Holloway.” Matt keeps his tone neutral. Inside, his
stomach churns at the thought of having to speak with her. This is not
how he planned to start the evening. He’s starving and has to curate the
several thousand photos he took at the International Auto Show.
