CALLA
TWELVE YEARS LATER
The sound of a blaring car horn ripped me out of my dream. My eyes barely
had time to open before I slammed into the dashboard of the moving truck,
my hands hitting the hard plastic right before the rest of me.
“Oww…” I groaned as I pushed back into my seat, rubbing my
probably-bruised skin.
“What the fuck?” Cole screamed from the driver’s side, rolling down
the window to continue screaming at the passing cabs.
As my eyes adjusted to the brightness, it took me a minute to get my
bearings. Just a moment ago, I was on the pier with my Poppy, replaying a
forgotten memory. The next, I was in the middle of downtown Manhattan,
the cacophony of traffic and congestion filling the world around me. I might
have spent most of my childhood in New York, but after years upstate, the
abrupt shift was jarring, to say the least.
“Are you okay?” Alex, my best friend, asked from the middle seat, as
she checked me over.
I waved her off. “All good. Just trying to wake myself up.”
“I bet,” she chuckled. “You’ve been snoring since we hit the Thruway.”
That wasn’t surprising. Cole insisted we leave Saint Stephen’s Lake at a
ridiculously early hour to get on the road before rush hour began. For the
past four hours, the three of us had packed into the cab of a moving truck
heading toward my new apartment in the city.
All my belongings were piled into boxes in the back, far fewer than I
thought I’d have. Then again, most of my clothes were still hanging in my
closet back at the Isadora, my family’s hotel in Saint Stephen’s Lake—the
same hotel my mother had kicked me out of almost two months ago
because I refused to go along with her plan for my life.
A decision I second-guessed more and more each day.
“This must be it.” Cole shifted the truck into park, and we stared
through the windshield, taking in the large building in front of us. For a
moment, I thought about telling him to turn around, to take me back to
Saint Stephen’s Lake, that this city, no matter how wondrous it could be,
would never be my home.
But as my hand reached toward the handle, I knew that wasn’t an
option. Even if I wanted to go back, there was nothing waiting for me at the
lake but now-painful memories. If I genuinely wanted a fresh start, it
needed to be somewhere new, somewhere I wouldn’t always be Diane
Winters’ daughter.
