Let’s see, that could have been any one of a number of locations. I give her the name of the street we lived on the longest.

“Was that the big place over near Lake Harriet?”

“Yeah.”

“That was it.” She nods, impressed, and I know why. The area is one of the best in Minneapolis. To them, it must have looked like we were rich. “Yvonne had you living in that fancy neighborhood. She always was like that,” Linda snipes.

In her eyes is the glint of the love triangle between them, and it strikes me how dramatic it must have been for Linda to give her firstborn child to Yvonne, who stole her man.

I glance over at Freddie, who wears a relaxed smile, as if he doesn’t know what Linda’s talking about, as if he had nothing to do with any of this. I’m sure in his mind, these particular ladies, like ladies in general, just naturally found themselves competing for his affections.

God, these people are crazy. I need a cigarette.

“Meet your sisters, Gina and Carrie.” Linda points at a ten-year-old girl who looks to be half–something ethnic and a three-year-old who’s all white. “And that’s your other sister, Kayla.” The sullen-looking girl with dark hair has already got reform school written all over her.

My dad makes some conversation. “Tracy just got off the plane from Salt Lake City.”

“Salt Lake City?!” Linda hollers. “Is that where you’re living now?”

I nod my head. “I moved there with my husband, Kenny.”

“And you’re married? Wow.” She’s staring at me again, and when I take notice, she doesn’t even bother to look away. “You really are stunning,” she repeats. She’s really annoying, but I kind of like her, too.

It hits me then, about this feeling I’m getting from her. It’s novel and warm and familiar and nice and trusting. I know her, that’s what it is, I know her. Shit.
