Katie (Age 10): Sweet, Spirited, Smart (In Three Acts, Reversed)
Act 1: Smart
Before (After)
At first, I think Josephâs smiley in the way Elijah wasâthat kind of fake cheeriness thatâs all performance and pomp. After all, he owns a slew of car dealerships. Heâs a salesman, and a slick one at that. It would make sense.
Every time he looks at me, I try to pick it out in his face, in his eyes. What makes him smile. What makes him frown. How I can mold myself to make him do the first thing, and not the second.
What do you want? I canât pin it down.
(Later, Iâll tell myself I was stupid. Even later, after a lot of therapy, Iâll know I wasnât.)
Momâs too confident after how well conning Elijah went. Sheâs sailing on the high of two successful jobs in a row, but I donât know then I canât trust her when it comes to picking the marks.
(I will question it forever: Did she know? How could she? How could she not?)
Josephâs on the hook too fast for someone who manipulates for a living; he moves us into his house after just two months of dating, and Momâs smug about it and Iâm so glad Iâm not getting terrorized by Jamison anymore that Iâve left Haley and my curled-up fists behind.
I donât realize my fists shouldâve stayed curled until itâs too late.
