“How dare you put that photo up in my room, Mom!” Harry’s voice was harsh as I walked toward the kitchen. I waited by the door before walking in to see what else he was going to say.

“It’s a lovely picture, Harry,” Daisy protested weakly.

“Look, Mom, I don’t want anything pertaining to Angelica in my room or in the house, do you get it?”

“You can’t just forget about what you had, Harry.” She sighed.

“Mom.”

“She taught you so much, Harry, look at your paintings. Remember that instead of thinking about what she took away.”

“I’m not going to say this again, Mom, but I’m not interested in talking about or being reminded of Angelica.”

“Does Sarah know?” Daisy’s voice was soft.

“There is nothing that Sarah needs to know.” His voice was abrupt. “Where’s Dad? I need to fill him in on the latest news with our merger in Germany.”

“He’s in the study with John.”

I heard Harry walking out of the kitchen and into the hallway. “I’m going out. I’ll be back.”

“Harry,” Daisy called after him but he didn’t stop. He barged out of the kitchen, almost crashing into me.

“Hey, Sarah. I have to go out. I’ll be back in a bit.” He looked at me briefly and walked out of the door. I heard his car starting and he drove off. I stood there with my shoulders trembling. I wasn’t sure what was going on, and suddenly I felt very out of place.

“Sarah, I’m so sorry about that.” Daisy walked up to me and ushered me into the kitchen. “Harry can be a hothead sometimes.”

“I’ve noticed.” I grimaced.

“Don’t take it personally, my dear.” Daisy patted a chair at the big oak table. “Have a seat my dear, would you like a snack and drink?”

“Uh, sure, thanks.” I smiled as Daisy floated around the spacious kitchen. Daisy was short, and blond, and looked like a mother. She had no airs about her and poured me a glass of chocolate milk and gave me some cheese and crackers, with some grapes.

“Here you go, my dear.” She smiled sweetly at me. “You must forgive Harry for his rudeness. He’s always been hot tempered. I thought he would grow out of it, or at least I hoped he would. But I fear that is part of his personality.”

“I suppose.” I didn’t know if that was true. I’d always thought that Harry was extremely patient.

“So tell me more about yourself, dear.”

“Sure.” I wasn’t sure what Harry would want me to tell his mom, but I knew I couldn’t just say nothing. I spent the next two hours telling his mom about my childhood, college, wanting to be an actress, and my friendship with Katy. Daisy was a great listener, and I found myself at ease with her. It was only when Harry walked back through the door, a couple of hours later, that I realized I hadn’t tried to plug any of the things that we had talked about earlier.

“Hey.” I looked up at him and smiled shyly.
