âHave you talked to her? Is she still mad?â I asked.
Over the phone, my sister laughed. âIâm beginning to see what it wouldâve been like if you and I had gone to school together.â
âIâve been giving her some space, like you said.â It hadnât been easy, but thankfully, this was a big building. Iâd done my best to stay off the floors where Romeo, and therefore Sadie, were working. âSo spill.â
âShe said you texted.â
âA time or two. She replied in pleasant but noncommittal ways. Is that a skill they teach you women in a class or something?â
âItâs a skill we develop after we deal with too much BS from men,â Becca responded. âBut in answer to your question, I donât think sheâs mad. Just⦠cautious.â
âHow so?â
But Becca, in a maddening little-sister way, didnât answer that. âHow are things between you and Reid?â
âWeâre fine,â I said dismissively.
âWhich means whatâthat youâre going to just completely ignore the fight you had?â
âYeah. Weâre guys.â
She sighed. âReid said that he told you you had an idealized version of Sadie.â
âThatâs not helping me ignore it.â
âIâm serious. I think heâs right. You have this mental image of her that probably doesnât represent the way she really is.â
âSo youâre saying sheâs scum, and I somehow failed to notice it?â
Becca rolled her eyesâeven though I couldnât see it, I was a hundred percent sure she did. âIâm bringing it up because she probably has an idealized idea of you, too.â
âMe? She thinks Iâm a rich soulless capitalist asshole. How is that idealized?â
âThatâs part of it,â Becca said seriously. âSheâs trying to reconcile the guy she thought you were with the man youâve become.â
This conversation was giving me a headache. I walked through the kitchen, grabbing a beer on the way, and headed for my balcony. âSo what ideal am I failing to live up to?â
âYouâve got to look at it from her point of view,â my sister said, as if I hadnât been trying to do that all week. âBack then, all she had was her dad. She never had any siblings, and then suddenly you were there, giving her rides. Taking us out for ice cream. Beingâfor youârather cool.â
âSo I was the cool older brother she never had?â
âYeah. You were very kind to her, driving her twice a day in your little red car. You made her feel special. And, as much as I hate to say this, youâre not ugly. If she had a crush, she wasnât the only one of my friends who did.â
I smirked as I looked out at the lake. âRemember that cute little redhead you roomed with your junior year of college? She definitely had a crush on me.â
âTell me about it. She never shut up about you.â
âWhatever happened to her?â
âShe slept with Romeo.â
âReally?â I thought she had better taste than that. âWhatever happened to her?â
âWe lost touch after college. Presumably she learned her lesson and stayed away from tall, dark, and handsome men for the rest of her life.â
âHey,â I said, though I wasnât sure if she was insulting me or Romeo.
