“Mom, I’m home!” I called out as I entered the house. Nothing has changed, it seemed. My parents still didn’t lock their front door. Not that they needed to. Not in this town.

“Dad! Stephanie! Is anyone home?”

“Parkey!” yelled my sister as she jumped into my arms, hugging me so tight I thought she was going to crush me.

I laughed as I spun her around. “Still using that nickname, I see.”

“Of course! Where are your bags? Still in the car? I can go get them for you.”

“No, don’t worry about it. I’ll get them later. Where’s Mom and Dad?” I asked.

They must have heard our voices, because the foyer was suddenly packed, and I turned from one set of welcoming arms to another.

I beamed as I looked around at each of their friendly faces. There was no resentment in their eyes. They weren’t holding my extended absence against me, and for that I was thankful.

After lunch, I got my bags out of the trunk and took them upstairs to my old room, which hadn’t changed a bit.

“Hey, Parkey, let me help you unpack. That is, unless you have stuff you don't want me to see,” she said with a laugh. She was probably referring to the time she raided my dresser for a cigarette, which was my only vice as a teenager, and found a vibrator instead. I’ve since quit that habit.

I was already in the middle of unpacking, and threw a shirt at her, getting her square in the face.

“Sure, you little runt. You can take care of this bag. I think there’s some room in here,” I said, walking over to my old dresser and pulling open a couple of drawers. Two of them were empty. Perfect.

We talked about life in Manhattan, which had always fascinated her, and I had to tell her about all the cool clubs I never got a chance to go to. I had heard about them from buddies, so I wasn’t completely talking out of my ass.

“How long are you staying?” she asked seriously. “We’ve all missed you, you know. It’s not the same without you here. We have so much to catch up on!”

There it was—the guilt trip I’d been hoping to avoid. I knew she didn’t mean it that way, but it stung, nonetheless.

“I got permission to work remotely for two weeks, and then I’m taking another two or three weeks off, using my regular vacation days, so it’s safe to say I’ll be here until the new year, at least.” Simply saying that brought a sense of calm over me.

Stephanie beamed. “For real? That’s great! I can’t wait to do all the cool Christmas stuff with you! I imagine you have to catch up with your friends, too, don’t you?”

I chuckled. “Yeah, if I still have any here.” I’d gone months without talking to some of them and was afraid that maybe I’d pushed my luck one too many times. I’d be surprised if any of my old friendships survived that separation intact.
