“I will not allow you to wallow at home alone watching reruns tonight.
Gracie is only in town a short while and it’s both yours and mine last
day of the school year, so tonight we shall drink margaritas and
celebrate. You can watch reruns in a burrito blanket at home afterward,
okay?” my older sister, Olivia, urged me through a voice message while I
stacked things into my tote bag.

It was the last day of school for me as a kindergarten teacher, but it was
also margarita night with my sisters. Olivia knew me well enough to know
my out-of-character lack of chattiness in our sister text group meant I might
be considering backing out of tonight’s festivities.
I let out a big sigh of relief as I turned off the classroom lights. My tiny,
energetic students enjoyed their last day of school days ago. But after
sending them off I had only a couple of days to finish taking down my
classroom, print out hard copies of my grade books, submit them, and then
there were end-of-year meetings. My real last day had finally arrived and all
I wanted was to crawl into bed watching New Girl reruns until I fell into a
deep, dreamless sleep. Instead, I put on eyeliner and pulled my curly, red
hair into an updo in my yellow VW Bug before I met my sisters for what
the text message called a sisterly celebratory dinner and drinks.
Olivia said this dinner was required for all three of us Rhodes sisters.
Olivia was the oldest at 29, so she has a habit of bossing us around. I was
aware that part of this urgency was that we only had our youngest sister,
Gracie, with us for a short window in the midst of her busy college and
dance schedule.
I slipped into the booth at our favorite Mexican restaurant, the eager-toplease middle kid, because while Olivia might be bossing us around, she
usually had good ideas. And as a big salt-rimmed margarita was set before
me, I knew she was right about this one, too.
“To the end of school, for all of us,” she said, holding up her own
margarita to mine and Gracie’s glass. Olivia, with her glossy, straight
auburn hair and her freckled, button nose was a determined, serious woman
in such an adorable package.
We Rhodes sisters are all under five foot three and had been teased
about it as a little (quite literally) trio growing up, but Olivia was the
shortest clocking in at five feet.
“Well, for you two it’s the end. I have a summer semester starting in a
week,” Gracie groans, still an undergrad at 22. She had the same untamed
curls as me, but in a light, wheat blond instead of my fiery, copper red.
“You’re almost done, Gracie.” I reached across to her and gave her
shoulder a comforting little squeeze. “You graduate in the fall. It’s so
close.”
Olivia and I were both in education except on opposite ends of the
spectrum. I taught the early years while Olivia was an ancient history
professor at a small college outside of Austin.
