That evening, Camille performed the Schumann concerto for a packed house. She played so brilliantly that she received a standing ovation that went on for over five minutes. At the reception following the concert, she watched, annoyed, as her mother traipsed around like a queen bee, basking in the glow of her daughter’s success. Her cronies, wearing their designer gowns, buzzed around her mother as if she were the one who had performed in front of all those people instead of Camille.
Camille looked for Jack in the crowd, but he hadn’t shown up. She had to admit she was disappointed, and a little hurt. But later that night, she arrived home to find a bouquet of wildflowers—yellow sour grass and candy orange nasturtiums—tied to the front gate with a piece of string. A note was written on a piece of scratch paper and tucked among the wilting blossoms. Sorry I missed it. Next time. Love, Jack. Camille’s heart soared.
Camille’s mother rolled her eyes and muttered something about not even having enough class to show up or buy real flowers, but said nothing more. Camille assumed her mother had decided it was better to leave it alone and hope the relationship would simply fizzle out over time.
She knew that would never happen.
For the remainder of the summer, Camille continued to regularly sneak out at night and meet Jack at the guesthouse. If her mother knew, she played dumb. And soon enough, it was time for Camille to pack up her things. She was headed to USC to begin her freshman year of college.
