SEBASTIAN

Hi,

I love you. Always. Nothing will ever stop that. Just wanted to say that. I know it’s been a few days. My life is hectic right now. Good hectic, though. Weird hectic, too.

“Oh, wow! This is absolutely amazing,” Stasia’s mom exclaimed as we sat down at the cute little restaurant in Larchmont.

“I’m glad you like it. This is a really nice part of town. I’ve often thought that I would buy a house around here if I were to get married and have kids.” As soon as I spoke, I realized what I’d said, and I smiled over at Stasia. “I mean, when we get married you’ll have to let me know if this is an area you can see yourself living in.”

“Oh, she would love it. Wouldn’t you, Stasia?” her mother answered for her, and Stasia just nodded with a tight smile.

“So Stavros, was there anything in particular you wanted to see while you were here in Los Angeles?” I asked him as he flipped through the menu.

“I don’t know. Maybe a Lakers game if we can get tickets.” He looked at me. “Courtside would be amazing.”

“I’ll see what I can do,” I said with a smile.

Stasia gave him a look. “Papa, those seats are expensive.”

“It’s okay, Stasia. I can afford it.” I smiled at her, and she shook her head.

“I know you can afford it, but I don’t want my parents thinking that your money is their money.”

“How dare you, Stasia!” her mom exclaimed. “We would never think that!”

Stasia just gave her mom a look. “Really?”

“I mean, yes. Once you two get married, we will be family, and family does for each other. But we would never have any expectations. Plus, once you are married, Babushka will go back to giving us our little…” She paused. “Well, you know.”

I smiled, and I could see that Stasia was upset. She didn’t like her parents talking about money. I suppose she thought it was uncouth or slightly unusual. I mean, most elderly people didn’t take money from their parents, but I understood there had to be a reason. Her parents didn’t seem like the sort that would just take advantage of an old lady or the sort to be completely self-centered.

“So I was thinking that I would get the pancakes,” her mother said. “And Stavros, you can get the eggs Benedict.”

“But I wanted to get an omelet,” he said.

“But I would like the eggs Benedict, and I would like some pancakes. So if you get one and I get the other, we can split.”

“But I wanted to get—”

“Stavros.”

He looked over at her and nodded. “Fine. I’ll get the crab cakes eggs Benedict.”

“No. No.” She shook her head. “I want you to get the salmon eggs Benedict.”

“But I don’t even like salmon.”

“I’m sure it will be good. Everything’s good here, isn’t it, Sebastian?”

She looked over at me, and I just nodded. “Most of the food here is absolutely delicious. But you know what? If you would like to get the eggs
