No sooner do we pull up to Jepson Uptown Gallery than I suddenly have a pang of regret. It looks like I have conveniently forgotten that my mother’s exhibit is strictly adult in nature, and looking at naked couples going at it—albeit a tad abstract—may only bring me closer to home plate, considering the boy who has me all riled up will be staunchly by my side. Both Sylvia and I are sunk into a deep level of regret.

Crap. We head inside and I bounce past the receptionist to the main hall and find my mother on the floor sitting across from her bohemian boyfriend with a man bun and yoga wear, her new boy toy, ten years her junior, Brad.

“Harper Jane Shelton!” Mom springs up with the grace of a ballerina and Brad follows her directive. “Is that you, or am I having a hallucination?” She wraps her arms around me.

“Nope. The acid must be bad. This is reality.”

“Very funny.” She pulls back and holds my hands out to inspect me. “You’re getting too thin! Eat something, would you?”

Mom is beautiful with her red hair and light eyes. My father’s Blackfoot genes are certainly prominent in me, but I have that Irish red hair of hers even if I do wear it several shades darker.

“Dude.” Brad knuckle bumps Knox and I’m actually embarrassed at his effort to relate to the youth. He might be younger than my mother, but the dude is still essentially ancient.

“Mom, Brad, this is Knox—and before you get any big ideas, he’s just a friend.” I wish I had understood that before I got any big ideas. My entire body weighs down with grief at the thought. I’d say easy come, easy go, but considering the fact my body is begging to detonate in exactly that fashion, I’d say there’s nothing easy about this.

Knox shakes their hands in turn and I can tell my mother’s wicked wheels are spinning.

“And where’s Justin?” Her eyebrow does that fishhook thing it’s prone to do when she’s up to no good.

“In some other girl’s arms.” I shake my head at her, hoping she’ll drop it. “I caught him with someone else”—I point to Knox—“his someone else to be exact. That’s sort of what’s bonded the two of us,” I offer. At least it was the truth.

“Is that so?” That brow arches farther up her forehead, and now I’m fearing for both Knox and me.

“And pie.” Knox touches his shoulder to mine. “We also bonded over pie.”

Mom lets out a haw of a laugh. “Yes, well, my Harper has always had exquisite taste in food”—she licks her lips while inspecting Knox as if he had suddenly morphed into a truffle smothered side of beef—“and apparently, she has exquisite taste in boys as well.”

Brad chokes on his words. “She just said she was dumped.”

“I’m not talking about that boy.” She touches a finger to Knox’s nose, and I’m ready to both leave and vomit.

I hold up a hand before the lunacy goes any further.
