lyssa was always ready to leave New York. The city was no longer her
home, not fully, and the glorious beaches and frothing waves of
Martha’s Vineyard continually beckoned, so much so that she hardly
spent more than a week or two at Maggie’s apartment.

Now, as she shoved underwear, blouses, skirts, and a knitted winter hat
into her suitcase, November sunlight glittered through a large oak that grew
powerfully from the soil of a Brooklyn avenue, and drivers honked their
horns and skidded their tires. Everyone was always so impatient in the city.
Why did they need to make so much noise? Was everything in their lives
really that dramatic?
Alyssa smiled to herself. Martha’s Vineyard had changed her in so many
ways. It was there she’d learned to quiet her anxious soul.
“Alyssa?” Maggie’s voice echoed from the other side of the apartment.
“Can you help me for a sec?”
Alyssa popped up from her suitcase and hurried down the hallway to find
her older sister in a state of panic. Her hair was in curlers, and she scurried
around in a pair of tights and a tank-top with Lucy on her hip. In every way,
the picture was perfect— Maggie as a young mother of twenty-six, tired yet
overwhelmed with love, never with enough time, yet always eager to try her
best.
The only problem, of course, was that Lucy wasn’t Maggie’s daughter.
Lucy was the two-year-old daughter of Hunter, Alyssa’s high school
boyfriend. Hunter struggled with addiction and had checked into rehab the
previous spring. Now that he was clean, he’d taken a job in the Pacific
Northwest while Maggie and Alyssa raised his daughter until he was
emotionally ready for the task. Well, if Alyssa was honest, Maggie was more
Lucy’s guardian, while Alyssa picked up the slack. But Maggie, being
Maggie, needed it to be that way.
Maggie’s smile was nourishing as she passed Lucy to Alyssa. “She needs
some breakfast,” Maggie explained. “And I need to get my hair out of these
curlers. I don’t know what possessed me to try them in the first place. Am I a
fifties housewife?”
Alyssa laughed. “All right, Lucille Ball. Where’s your Ricky?”
Maggie rolled her eyes and hustled back to her bedroom, which she
shared with her husband, Rex. The two of them had been married for over
two years, but, to Alyssa, they’d been together for more or less forever.
