There were two certainties about summer in Rapid Bay: the unbearable
heat and the unbearably wealthy. Neither was particularly pleasant to
deal with, but both were an unfortunate necessity for my mom’s small
beach café to survive. This summer was no exception, as the vacationing elite
descended on our coastal town and briefly transformed our simple, sleepy
home into a bustling hive of activity.
I’d spent most of the break helping my mom by working at the café.
She’d never had the money to hire extra hands for the busy season, so I’d
been chipping in since I was old enough to carry a tray of food. I usually
quite enjoyed the madness of a busy day serving customers. The chaotic,
frantic energy made the summer days pass by in a flash, but I couldn’t say the
same today. Today, it seemed nothing was going right.
“Oh, sweet heaven,” Norma groaned. “That penny-pinching plastic
panther is back.”
I looked up from the stubborn stain on the counter I was cleaning. A
woman had just entered the café with her husband and teenage son in tow. I
immediately recognized them as they had eaten here several times this week
already, and the woman’s face was pumped so full of chemicals it was kind
of hard to forget.
The father and son were dressed casually and looked ready for a day out
on one of the expensive yachts docked at the marina. The woman appeared to
have missed the memo though. Her sky-high wedges didn’t look very
seaworthy, and her fitted leather dress must have been sweltering in the heat.
She wore a broad-brimmed hat, even though she was indoors, and was
holding the same striking panther’s head handbag she’d been toting around
all week.
It had only taken one encounter for Norma and me to realize these people
were the worst type of vacationers who visited our town. The father and son
ignored us entirely while the woman rarely made eye contact. She wasn’t
much taller than me but seemed to stand a little straighter and tilt her head up
so she looked down her nose when she spoke to me. She slowly dragged out
the words as if she thought I wouldn’t understand otherwise. I might have
been waiting tables for the summer, but I was at the top of my class at school
and definitely smart enough to know a job didn’t equal someone’s worth. It
didn’t help my opinion of the family that they hadn’t tipped us once.
“I think it’s your turn, Isobel,” Norma said as she hurried out back to the
kitchen.
