CHARLOTTE
When I was a little girl, my gran used to say that life was like cake because
even the bad ones still had icing. Usually, she’d say this when life had dealt
out another disappointment.
Sorry if we’re out of ice cream, but that just means we have more room
for pie!
Sorry if the boy next door won’t play with you, but that means we have
time to invite your best friend for a sleepover!
Over the years, as I got older, I realized that she was trying to teach me
to roll with life’s disappointments. Her motto was that a little bit of
creativity and a positive attitude could transform even the worst situation
into a blessing.

Small victories, she’d say. Celebrate the small victories.
I loved Gran more than just about anyone else in the world, but over the
last month it had become abundantly clear that she’d lied to me.
Every cake didn’t have icing.
There wasn’t always a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
Sometimes things just sucked.
Like discovering my would-be haven needed its own rescue.

“It’s a wreck!”
“What did you just say?”
I jumped at the sound of Retta’s voice in my ear. She’d called a few
minutes ago, but I’d instantly forgotten she was on the phone when I pulled
into the driveway of my Gran’s house. I was so distracted that I took my
foot off the brake and the car lurched forward.

“Oh crap!” I quickly put the car in park.
Retta’s voice boomed through my headphones. “Can we just back up for
a second? Where are you?”
“My Gran Grace’s house.”
“The gran who died when you were in high school?”

“Yes.”
Retta sounded thoroughly confused. “Didn’t she live in the middle of
bumfucksville?
“Virginia.”
“Isn’t that what I said?”

Despite the circumstances, that got a smile out of me. “Retta, someone
was supposed to maintain the place, but the house is a mess.”
“Charlie, what happened with Aaron?”

The mention of my ex was enough to distract me from the shambles of
my grandmother’s house. Aaron had seemed like the perfect boyfriend:
successful, romantic, and supportive of my career. I hadn’t realized until too
late that his idea of happily-ever-after had not extended to supporting me
when my family got bumped from A-list to D-list.

“You thought he was going to propose over lunch and then everything
happened with the police. I know the last few days have been crazy.”
I got out of the car and stood at the edge of the yard. My eyes didn’t
know where to land.

They moved from the house’s dingy siding, to the
cracked asphalt on the driveway to the unkempt yard. The Knock Out roses
that had once been Gran’s pride and joy were now an overgrown tangle of
thorns and brush. Then I turned toward the house and threw my hands up.
“I mean, even the steps are rotting!”
