The home of Mayor Joseph Masterson was in a state of uproar, but then that tended to be the order of things at the sprawling estate just outside the town limits. The fuse was lit when Mackenzy Masterson’s ride to Eternity Lodge arrived. Her parents weren’t pleased by who they saw at the wheel of the VW Bug in the driveway.

“This is so embarrassing! Are you guys serious?!” Mac pulled all ten fingers through her hair and raced over to peek out at the big winding drive where Sean Morris waited. “What am I supposed to tell him?”

“You don’t have to tell him anything,” Michelle Masterson’s response was airy as though she took no notice of her daughter’s outrage. She stood rearranging framed photos atop the white Grand piano. “We’ll send someone out to do it for you.”

“That’s a load of crap, Mom!”

“Mac! That’s enough!” Joseph Masterson slammed the parlor door when he entered the room. “Do you want the whole house hearing-”

“I don’t care!”

“You will shut your mouth or be grounded,” the man voiced the warning quietly.

“Go on! Ground me! I’ll be eighteen in two weeks and if you plan to threaten me by cutting off my money, I guess it’ll be time to dig into the stash I’ve been saving since I was twelve!”

“Mackenzy please…” Michelle Masterson’s soft voice filtered in again. “Sweetheart think about who your father is. How will it look for you to be seen with…”

“With who, Mom? A black guy?”

“Now we never said that!” Joseph Masterson was outraged.

Mackenzy laughed. “Save the act for the house staff, Daddy.” She fixed her parents with a scathing look. “You guys should remember that Sean’s dad is a surgeon. My guess is, he runs in circles of people who’d be very interested in hearing all about Lake Eternity’s racist mayor.”

“Mackenzy Diane Masterson, that’s enough-!”

“Michelle,” Joseph Masterson raised a hand, his voice weary as he accepted his daughter’s point. “Let her go.” He left the room through an opposite door.

Mackenzy bolted moments later.
