“Didn’t your parents want to come see you settled in? I thought
Mondays were dark days at Mirage?” Lyot’s mom drops the last of
our boxes on the sidewalk and stretches her arms over her head with
a groan, earning appreciative looks from a couple of guys carrying what
looks like one of those advertised-on-TV massage chairs up the steps to the
dorm.
Jo Chace teaches pole dancing to bored housewives and aspiring
America’s Got Talent stars at a studio called Vertical Dreams in Spring
Valley. And since she had Lyot when she was twenty-one, she basically
looks like another student. A damn fine one, too, with her tawny skin and
waist-length braids. I love the woman, and not only because of everything
she’s done for Lyot.
Even in the beginning, she never made a fuss about who I was related to.
Instead, she welcomed me into their little apartment and gave me free rein
of the fridge. But while she’s sympathetic about my feelings toward my
parents, she’s never understood that them being proud to display me to their
peers is not the same as being proud of who I am. Or that, sometimes, what
looks like love feels more like polishing a prized possession.
“They’re still not totally sold on the ACCA thing,” I admit, which is
actually true but has the added benefit of making them sound petty. They
made some noise about driving me over this morning, but I know it was
only for the chance to be fawned over by the next generation of circus
students while playing the devoted parents, and I wasn’t in the mood to let
their hypocrisy ruin my day. They’ve been telling me for two years that the
American College of Circus Arts is beneath me and that I’d never be
properly challenged staying in Vegas for school. They had their hearts set
on sending their prodigal daughter to a top European circus school. Or to
ENC in Quebec, with its ties to Cirque du Soleil and its French curriculum.
But aside from the fact that I’d rather die than do what my parents want
when it comes to my circus career, those schools are expensive. It’s also
impossible to get financial aid to study circus abroad, and I would never
abandon Lyot to enable Guy and Chloe Laurent’s snobbery.
Jo doesn’t push it, wrapping her arms around me with a sigh. Seconds
later, the tailgate bangs as Lyot slams it shut and bounds up to join the hug,
enveloping us both and squeezing until Jo is breathless and laughing and
I’m smiling again. The August sun winks off his coffee curls as he plants a
kiss on his mom’s head before releasing her.
“We love you, Ma,” he says. “And we’re only twenty minutes from
Vertical here. It’s closer than the gym, and you never missed us when we
were there.”
