I TAP the toe of my black stiletto on the pavement, my gaze running over
the parking lot of golf carts roasting in the afternoon sun. Sliding a hand
over my slicked hair and ponytail, I cringe. Thanks to the sauna-like
humidity of this miserable island, what used to be my signature sleek updo
is rapidly turning into a national disaster, with frizz setting in like an evil
dictator, ready to reign supreme for my short stay in Sunset Harbor.
Despite the fact I’ve been waiting a good fifteen minutes in this hellish
heat and humidity, there’s no sign of Grams on the horizon. A little jolt of
nerves takes hold as my mind jumps to worst-case scenarios: her golf cart
overturned on the side of the road, for instance. It’s been a few years since
I’ve seen my grandma, and she’s seventy-seven now, with a bad knee she
refuses to have replaced. I would’ve called an Uber instead of asking her to
pick me up if this island were civilized enough to have the service—or any
cars at all.
I pull out my phone to call her as a rattling sound catches my attention,
growing progressively louder.
My gaze flicks up in time to catch sight of Grams weaving through
parked golf carts, completely ignoring the dedicated lane she should be
driving in. Thanks to her undying love of Aqua Net Extra Super Hold
hairspray, her silvery mop is putting up a valiant effort at resisting the wind
drag. I swear I can smell the hairspray from here. Apparently, that’s what I
need if I’m going to look half-presentable while in Sunset Harbor.
Every screw must be loose in the golf cart given the deafening rattle and
the way the whole thing vibrates as it hurtles toward me, showing no signs
of slowing.
“Grams!” I cry out as my life flashes before my eyes. I have so much to
see! So many rungs of the corporate ladder yet to climb! I refuse to let
Sunset Harbor be the last image in my brain, so I hop back.
She slams on the brakes at the very last second, and the cart stops inches
away from kneecapping me.
“Toss that suitcase on the back and jump in!” she says at an unnecessary
volume. Her hearing must be going, and her thick-framed glasses look more
Coke-bottley than ever. “Come on, Gigi!”
No one calls me Gigi instead of Gemma. At least no one who wants to
survive the day. Grams is immune to threats, though, and I’m pretty sure
she could take me in a tussle, so I let it go.
I lift my carry-on and set it in the rusted basket on the back. “Good to
see you too, Grams.”
I take a seat in the cart, leaning over to kiss the wrinkly cheek she
offers. I barely manage it before she puts the pedal to the metal, and we jolt
forward. I grab the nearest bar and use my other hand to hike down my
pencil skirt, cringing at the way it sticks to the back of my thighs. This
humidity will be the death of me.
