As far as Sloane Russo’s family was concerned, if you were over
eighteen, you were either happily married or dead, with no in
between. The distinct lack of a ring on her finger suggested she
looked pretty damned fine, considering she’d been a corpse for nearly
fourteen years. Not that it made a difference to her mother.
“Ma, do we need to have this discussion right now? I’m only in New
York overnight, and I’ve got to get ready to meet with Belinda.” Sloane
riffled through the bright tangle of clothes in her suitcase, searching in
vain for her black push-up bra. It was God’s cruelest joke that she’d been
gifted with the impossibly long legs of a runway model yet no bust to
speak of, as if she was the living embodiment of close, but no cigar.
Wasn’t that just the story of her life?

Her mother crossed her arms over her modest pink blouse as she
scowled from the doorframe of Sloane’s childhood bedroom. “I don’t
understand why you insist on meeting with that woman. You only have
one night before you go back to Pine Mountain. What about going to a
nice dinner with Joey Romano? He always asks after you.”
Sloane swallowed a laugh. “You’re talking about a guy who tried to
get me to eat paste in the second grade.”

“You and that crazy imagination.” Her mother tsked, but no way was
Sloane letting her creative streak take the blame for this one.
“I remember it like it was last week. He put it on a lunch tray and told
me it was mashed potatoes. Said it would stick to my ribs.” At least Sloane
hadn’t been thick enough to fall for it. Poor Frannie Bascom hadn’t been
so lucky, and the nickname Paste Face had stuck with her for years.
Her mother changed tactics. “That was decades ago! You can’t at least
call him to say hello?”

“It’s probably not a good idea for me to date someone from Brooklyn.”
Sloane dodged the subject with well-practiced grace, although her mother
put the screws to her on such a regular basis, there was no chance the topic
was dead.
“What’s wrong with dating someone from the neighborhood?” Her
mother’s tone matched her expression in both intensity and temperature.
“Nothing, except I don’t exactly live here right now.”
Another sore subject, if her mother’s frown was any indication. “Don’t
remind me. You’re still back here enough to at least give it a try.”
Sloane’s hands flew over the sweaters and silk as she continued to
rummage.

“But that’s only to visit. I just don’t think it would work out.”
As expected, her mother refused to be deterred. “Your father and I
knew each other in the third grade. Even then, I realized he was something
special.”
“I know, Ma.” Of course she did. The love-at-first-sight story was
Russo family legend. But as sweet as it was, it certainly didn’t translate to
her marrying Joey Romano. After all, she hadn’t been kidding about the
paste.
