Chapter 19

It was just two days until Salvatore was leaving and all of the things that had happened pretty much had squashed out any sexual desires we had for each other—or at least that I had for him. Every time I saw him thoughts in my mind would ring out, calling me a pervert, a molester, a disappointment to my family, and an embarrassment to the town or at least to the First name. I knew I’d get over it eventually, but it was so hard to deal with. The only thing more frightening to me in my life was when my dad had his heart attack. Other than that, this situation was one of the most harrowing things I’d ever experienced.

Salvatore had been to the office, but with his parents as they got their tour and were introduced to all the staff. I was there, too, but it was very different than what it had been before. The only person that seemed to have any compassion for me was Mary, my dad’s right hand lady.

“I’m sorry you’re going through a tough time, Taylor. Hang in there. It’ll all work itself out.”

“Thanks,” I said, but I choked up and couldn’t say anymore. My eyes welled up with tears and I thought I was going to have another breakdown. The crying jags were getting better though; I hadn’t had one for nearly six hours.

I walked back to my office and my mom came in a short time later. “We’re all going to go to lunch, Taylor. Come on.”

“Mom, I just don’t know if it’s a good idea.”

“It’s all over and done with now, Taylor. Everything will be fine and you’ll just have to ride it out. I have a feeling that you’ve learned quite the lesson here, but it’ll all work out. Remember Dotty…her husband had an affair with his secretary and it was the scandal of the town for ages, but now nobody thinks about it.”

“That’s because they’re thinking of me,” I protested.

“Don’t be a martyr. Get your purse. Let’s go.” My mom walked out, showing that her word was final and there were no negotiations to be had.

I got up and we all walked outside to the car. My dad had his three row SUV and we all piled in. Salvatore and I in the way back, our moms in the middle, and our dads in the front. We smiled at each other, both showing love in our eyes, but also so apprehensive. I longed to see that look I’d grown so used to in Salvatore.

Once we sat down to eat, we somehow got on the topic of my attending Harvard, something I hadn’t even begun pursuing the past few days. I hadn’t given it a second thought even, not even sure if the scholarship would still be available.

“It’s going to be such a wonderful experience for you at Harvard, Taylor. An opportunity to really learn a lot about their business program and walk away prepared to take over my end of things.
