Donât forget to send back my letter, Lara Jean
Daddyâs at the hospital, but heâs made a big pot of oatmeal, a vat of it like you see in a soup kitchen. By this time itâs gummy and I have to put half a bottle of maple syrup and dried cherries on mine to make it palatable, and even then Iâm not sure if I like oatmeal. I make a bowl for me with some chopped-up pecans on top, and a bowl with just honey on top for Kitty. âHave some gruel,â I call out. Sheâs in front of the TV, of course.
We sit on stools at the breakfast bar and eat our gruel. I will say there is something satisfying about it, the way it sticks to your insides like paste. As I eat, I keep my eyes toward the window.
Kitty snaps her fingers in my face. âHello! I asked you a question.â
âHas the mail come yet?â I ask.
âThe mailman doesnât come until after twelve on Saturdays,â Kitty says, licking honey off her spoon. Eyeing me she says, âWhy have you been so excited about the mail all week?â
âIâm waiting for a letter,â I say.
âFrom who?â
âJust . . . no one important.â A rookie mistake. I shouldâve made up a name, because Kittyâs eyes narrow, and now sheâs really interested.
âIf it wasnât someone important, you wouldnât be so gaga looking out the window for it. Whoâs it from?â
âIf you must know, itâs actually a letter from me. One of those love letters of mine you sent out.â I reach across the table and pinch her arm. âItâs coming back my way.â
âFrom the boy with the funny name. Ambrose. What kind of name is Ambrose?â
âDo you remember him at all? He used to live on our street.â
âHe had yellow hair,â Kitty says. âHe had a skateboard. He let me play with it once.â
âThat sounds like him,â I say, remembering. Of all the boys, he had the most patience with Kitty, even though she was a pain.
âStop smiling,â Kitty commands. âYou already have a boyfriend. You donât need two.â
My smile slips. âWeâre just writing letters, Kitty. Also donât snap at me.â I lean in to give her another pinch, and she jumps up before I can. âWhat are you going to do today?â
âMs. Rothschild said sheâd take me and Jamie to the dog park,â Kitty says, putting her dirty bowl in the sink. âIâm gonna go over and remind her.â
âYouâve been hanging out with her a lot lately.â Kitty shrugs and gently I say, âJust donât become a nuisance, all right? I mean, sheâs like, forty; she might have other things she wants to be doing with her Saturday. Like go to a winery or a spa. She doesnât need you harassing her about dating our dad.â
âMs. Rothschild loves hanging out with me, so keep your little opinions to yourself.â
I frown at her. âSeriously, you have such bad manners, Kitty.â
âBlame my manners on you and Margot and Daddy, then. Youâre the ones who raised me this way.
