Trina glanced around at everyone gathered in Claire’s living room.
Maybe the outcome of the will being read was still settling over
everyone, because no one said a word. She’d expected some kind of response
to her comment about no one going anywhere, meaning that no one would
have to leave the beach house now that she and Kat each owned half of it.
But nope. Nothing.
Maybe, she thought, they hadn’t heard her. She had sort of been speaking
to Roxie, her mom. Or it could be that they were all still dealing with how the
reading of the will had left them feeling.
For instance, Trina found it kind of surprising that she and Kat had gotten
the beach house, and not either of their mothers.
Either way, Trina figured it was worth saying again, so she stood,
glancing at Kat. “Since Kat and I each get a half share of this house, then I
see no reason for anyone to go anywhere. We can all just stay right here.”
Kat nodded and got to her feet. “I agree.” Then she made a little face.
“Except we’re using more than fifty percent of it, since Cash is staying on the
third floor.”
Trina shrugged. “Doesn’t matter to me.” She smiled at Cash, her Aunt
Jules’s son and, technically, Trina’s cousin. “I’m happy you’re here. You’re
family. You can stay as long as you want.”
“Thanks, cuz.” He grinned back at her. “You’re all right.”
Being called “cuz” made Trina feel good. Especially from a member of
her newly discovered family. She glanced at Kat. “I can’t believe Dad gave
us the house.”
Kat nodded. “It is kind of surprising, isn’t it?”
Trina had a feeling she knew why their father had left them the house.
Probably because he’d known they wouldn’t fight over it like their mothers
would.
Trina’s grandmother, Willie, got to her feet. “Well, that’s that. At least
this place won’t have to be sold now.”
“Maybe,” Claire, Kat’s mother, said. “Even split in half, the upkeep and
utilities on this place aren’t going to be free.”
Roxie, Trina’s mom, shot her a look. “We’re getting the life insurance
money. That’ll help.”
“And the salon will be open before too long,” Trina said. “Hopefully,
once that happens, I’ll be able to contribute something.” She said that
assuming her mom and Mimi would take care of things until she had the
money to do so herself.
“Don’t you worry,” her Mimi said. “Your half of things will be taken care
of, my girl.”
Trina kissed her grandmother on the cheek. “Thanks, Mimi.” Considering
that her grandmother had just inherited seven million dollars from her last
husband, Trina had sort of thought she might say something like that.
Not that Trina expected her grandmother to foot the bill for everything
just because of that new money. Her grandmother had already bought a small
strip mall for the sole purpose of giving Trina a place to open her own salon.
That was far and above anything Trina could have dreamed anyone would do
for her.
