His mother meets them on the sidewalk in front of the yard holding a bag of groceries. She kisses his cheek. Chase smiles as his mother and Julia hug. His mother removes her sunglasses and offers them each a Snapple. Chase goes through the motions: he tells her the house looks great because he knows that’s what she wants to hear. But his mother wants a lot of things. She wants the kids to stop drag-racing down Beverly. She wants the neighbors to remove the discarded sinks and the couch cushions from their yellow lawns. She wants the helicopters to stop flying low over the neighborhood. She wants the wrinkles and the dark circles under her eyes to disappear. She wants the blond dye in her hair to last longer and look more natural than it does. She wants the large sloping lawn she had back in Green Valley. She wants to tear down the Sahara marquee. She wants her husband to come back from Malibu. She wants Chase to help her.

“Edward’s sitting on his ass again,” Chase says.

“Eddie just bought the time-share in Idaho.”
