Dr. Eden Tong and Rufus,
Viscount St. Ives
GRESHAMSBURY, ENGLAND • PRESENT DAY
Eden Tong and Rufus Gresham, who grew up as neighbors and had been the
closest of friends since they were very young, used to leave each other secret
notes in the hollow of a majestic holm oak that grew on the pathway between
their houses. Nowadays, since they were quite often on opposite ends of the
world—with Eden in England and Rufus constantly on the go—they would
text every morning without fail.
Eden (Greshamsbury Nursery School/Mount
House/Downe House/Cambridge) would be awakened by her phone alarm
playing the first few notes of Radiohead’s “High and Dry,” and after swiping
snooze a couple of times, she’d eventually grab her phone and peer at the text
message on Signal that was invariably waiting from Rufus (Mount
House/Radley/Exeter/Central Saint Martins). Today’s text:
RUFUS GRESHAM: What do you think of my nails?
Eden lazily texted back:
EDEN TONG: I don’t.
RG: Do I need a manicure?
ET: Because you chew them to the quick?
RG: That noticeable huh?
ET: Not really. Doubt anyone but your mum would care.
RG: Haha, she’s insisting I get a manicure before the wedding.
ET: Up to you. You might find it addictive.
RG: Hmmm. Seems decadent. Speaking of which, I had Shanghai Fried Buns last
night. Like soup dumplings except bigger and pan fried so the bottom’s all toasty.
ET: Yummmmm. Same place as the hand-pulled noodles?
RG: No, new place in Chinatown. Can’t wait to take you there.
ET: Our list keeps growing.
RG: When do you arrive in Hawaii?
ET: Not going to Hawaii.
RG: You wish.
ET: I’m serious. Won’t be there.
RG: What?!?! Those NHS tyrants won’t give you time off?
ET: Um…not exactly.
RG: No excuses then.
ET: I didn’t make the cut. I’m not a royal or a trillionaire.
RG: Wait. SERIOUSLY? Why am I only finding out now?
ET: Thought you knew.
RG: This is bollocks. I’m calling Mum now.
ET: Please don’t. It’s fine.
RG: No it’s not!!! How can YOU of all people not be at my sister’s wedding?!?
ET: I was at the blessing at Greshamsbury Rectory.
RG: Not the same and you know it. I’ll call Augie.
ET: Please don’t. The last thing she needs now is more drama with your mum.
RG: She’s used to it. With Mum there’s drama 24/7. How often did you speak to your
dad when you were away at uni?
ET: Maybe every couple of weeks.
RG: Mum calls me 5 times a day. If I miss 2 calls in a row she freaks out and thinks
I’m dead.
ET: All mothers worry.
RG: 5 times a day is not normal when your son is 28.
ET: You know you don’t have to pick up every time she calls.
RG: I know. But I have Asian son guilt.
ET: You’re half Asian, so you should only have half the guilt.
RG: 😉 If only. I CAN’T BELIEVE YOU WON’T BE HERE! I was planning our
itinerary. Swimming with dolphins. Flat whites at Arvo. Roadside rotisserie
chicken in Waimea. Gill’s Lanai for the BEST fish tacos. Hiking to the waterfalls in
Waipi’o Valley.
