CHAPTER EIGHT

“I’m so glad you took today off, Sam,” Virginia said from across the kitchen. They were both putting parts of the brunch feast on platters while Ben flipped his latest attempt at a matzo pancake.

“Yea, I was really planning ahead for hangovers. I thought I'd drink both nights, but glad I didn’t last night. One because I’m too old to drink two nights in a row, and two because then I got to experience rejection stone cold sober! So fun,” she skewered a grape on a toothpick viciously as she remembered the feeling of Jordan leaning past her to open the truck door.

Her dreams had been dark and sluggish. Waves of syrupy darkness had pulled her in and thrown her out of sleep over and over. Each time she woke, she’d been more tangled in the sheets, her curly hair growing wilder. The velvety, smoky scent of Jordan seemed to cling to the corners of each dream that slipped out of grasp. She’d finally given up on sleeping at around five in the morning.

“I still don’t understand what happened,” Ben said over his shoulder, his arm jumping around as he tried to pry the ‘pancake’ from the pan with a spatula.

“I was a big girl and stated my needs and she flat out told me what I wanted wasn’t real. It’s fine. We want different things, it’s not going to work out. Good to know early on!”

“I still think you should give her a call and ask for an explanation,” Virginia said for the third time that morning as she mixed two different fruit juices into an oblong pitcher.

“Two nights in a row of false starts is really enough. Why force something?” Sam retorted as she finished the last fruit skewer. “This is a lot of food for the five of us.”

“Ok, but the two of you follow each other around the room with your eyes. If that’s not chemistry, what is?” Virginia replied in a dreamy voice. “And leftovers are a mom’s best friend.”

“It’s just lust,” Sam countered, even while some small voice in her head called her a liar. “By the way, did Leo and Alyssa tell you about their kids’ school?”

“Oh yea, thanks. I mean, we looked at that school and it’s not a right fit, but they had some great intel on some playgroups and afterschool programs for Black children and we talked about approaching Temple Sinai’s new rabbi about starting a monthly group for Jewish kids of color,” Virginia brought her pitcher and trays over to where Sam was carefully stacking fruit skewers.

“And Leo is taking me golfing, which feels like a real potential friend moment,” Ben added, turning away from the stove just in time to catch the eyes the two women were making at each other about golf.

The adults joined the twins at the long dining room table where they were coloring and laid out the brunch spread before Sam and Ben served the girls on matching princess plates.
