SADIE: DECEMBER—FIVE YEARS AGO
When I catch sight of the big red Cadillac Escalade pulled up in
my dorm’s parking area, I inwardly cringe. Not that there aren’t plenty of
rich kids who attend Harvard—it is goddamn Harvard—but the giant news
station emblem plastered everywhere strikes me as ostentatious.
Dad works at the ABC affiliate here in Boston as one of the main
primetime anchors. So I do understand why he requested one of the drivers
take him from the station to the airport, with a brief stop at the university to
pick me up. But I’m not a fan of everyone’s stares.
Guess I’m just lucky he didn’t choose one with his picture affixed to the
side. Or the one with him and Mom together.
Speaking of Mom, she’s the one who pokes her head out the passenger
side window. “Come on, Sadie. We need to get to the airport.”
I wave to let her know I’ve heard her, but I don’t verbally respond. Hers
is another familiar face nationwide since she’s the chief meteorologist for
the same station. Bridget Keaton-Vincent and Craig Vincent, power couple
of the local weather and journalism scene. Then, there’s me, their
introverted daughter who’d rather be in front of a computer keyboard than a
television screen.
Sometimes I wonder if I was switched as a newborn with their real child
at the hospital.
Yet physically, there’s no denying that I’m theirs. I have Dad’s hair and
eyes and Mom’s everything else. Personality-wise, I’m not much like either
of them, though. Except for my penchant for overachieving.
Like each of them, I graduated high school a year early with a perfect
GPA. But the choice to attend this prestigious university on an accelerated
five-year plan to achieve a simultaneous bachelor’s and master’s degree is
all me. I’ve finished my first semester with flying colors. It makes them
proud, I think.
That’s what they keep telling everyone, anyway.
Once I reach that monstrosity of an SUV, Mom snaps, “You’re too
young to move this slow. Throw your suitcase in the back so we can go.”
She never has been the patient type, so I do as she says. Dad ignores
her, as he often does. Their marriage has been more for the sake of public
appearances than affection. It’s been like that for years.
Besides, we’ll make our flight regardless since we have our own private
jet. What’s Jasper—our pilot—going to do? Take off without us?
I keep this snide remark to myself. It’ll only make my mother snippier
than she already is. It’s an irony that has always confounded me, but
something about going on vacation puts her in the nastiest of moods. You’d
think traveling to some novel or exotic locale for a week or two of R & R
would chill her out, but no.
She’s been like this for as long as I can remember.
Truth be told, I’m not overly excited for this getaway to Aspen, either.
Unlike my parents, I’m not much of a skier, and while I do snowboard,
