Inspiring

Jenny

I’m midway through getting ready for dinner when I hear a voice call my name, “Jenny?”

“In here!”

“Hey, I just wanted to apologize for yesterday,” Nat says before she rounds the corner to the bathroom.

“It’s me who should apologize. I left before the wedding. I’m so sorry. I panicked.”

“Oh damn, it’s nice in here. This is impressive.” She comes right into the room and stares, forgetting our conversation.

“You haven’t seen it before?” I turn and sigh in disbelief that I’m here at all. “It’s the nicest house I’ve been in.”

“No, they’re rich. They don’t do the house tour thing. As you pass by a room, they say offhand things like”—she changes her tone to the uppity one Matt’s mom has—“darling, you’ve seen the parlor since we had the curtains redone? The fabric is imported from Singapore and made from the tears of orphans and tattered clothes stolen from the displaced refugees. Very rare.”

We laugh.

“That’s not how it sounds,” Lori says, making us both jump in surprise. “It’s more like this.” He changes his voice too, “You know that spotted cat born in the wild, said to be the last of his species? I can’t recall the breed, not that it’s important. I have him stuffed in the study as a reminder to always be grateful for every day. Inspiring.”

His imitation is flawless and we are both laughing at him.

“Why are we mocking my mother?” He lifts an eyebrow and leans on the doorframe, filling it up with his body.

“You never gave Nat the tour of the house. She didn’t know your hers bathroom was so impressive.”

“By the gods, Mrs. Coldwell, how can I ask for your forgiveness?” He maintains his silly impression, offering her his arm. “Let me start the all-access tour in a more appropriate area, my bedroom.” He waggles his eyebrows and leads her off.

She’s giggling at whatever nonsensical thing he’s saying as he leads her around the huge suite.

When he brings her back to the bathroom, he kisses her hand and bows, still speaking that way, “I do hope that makes up for the grievous error I made in my negligence.” He winks at me in the mirror and walks away, speaking normally, “See you both downstairs in five? The karaoke won’t sing itself.”

I wrinkle my nose.

“He’s so odd.” She laughs. “Anyway, as I was saying, I’m sorry. I forgot the stupid thing was in there. And you saved my life with my mom. You have no idea. So thank you for ruining your entire pregnancy reveal to Lori. I feel awful.”

“Don’t. It was fine,” I lie.

“It wasn’t. It was terrible. And then I got so done with this whole situation that in the limo, when our parents had all left, I did the same thing as you. I sprung it on Sami and Brady. They’re both mad at me.”

“They won’t be for long. Sami’s probably minutes away from realizing what a capital thing this is, you both having babies to put on Princess and the Pauper.” I laugh.
