This time when it started, I so totally wasn't expecting it.
You would think I'd have figured it out by now. I mean, after all this time. But
apparently not. Apparently, in spite of everything, I am just as big an idiot as
I ever was.
This time when it started, it wasn't with a phone call, or a letter in the mail.
This time it was the doorbell. It rang right in the middle of Thanksgiving
dinner.
This wasn't so unusual. I mean, lately, our doorbell? Yeah, it's been ringing a
lot. That's because a couple of months ago, one of my parents' restaurants
burned down, and our neighborsЧwe live in a pretty small townЧwanted to show
their sympathy for our loss by bringing over beef Stroganoff and the occasional
persimmon pie.
Seriously. As if someone had died. People always bring over gifts of food when
someone has died, because the grieving family isn't supposed to feel up to
cooking, and would starve to death if friends and neighbors didn't come over all
the time with lemon squares or whatever.
Like there was no such thing as Dominos.
Only in our case, it wasn't a person who had died. It was Mastriani's, an
Establishment for Fine DiningЧthechoice for pre-prom dinner, or catering local
weddings or bar mitzvahsЧwhich got burned down thanks to some juvenile
delinquents who'd wanted to show me just how much they didn't appreciate the way
I was poking my nose into their business.
