Once the main course was finished, Ava helped me clear the table. We loaded the dishwasher as the three of them kept talking. Just as I was bringing out the key lime pie to surprise my dad, someone knocked on my door.
Ava looked at me with confusion in her eyes. Carefully, I set the pie down on the table and shrugged. I hadn’t invited anyone else tonight.
But then the strangest thing happened. My mother’s eyes widened. She slapped her forehead and then stood from the table, rushing toward my front door.
She opened the door to reveal a pretty middle-aged woman wearing a cream-colored blouse and black slacks.
“Everyone, this is Skylar Keller,” my mom said and gestured to the woman.
I froze where I was standing. I had no idea that my mom had any friends in New York. And why would she invite someone to my apartment without telling me?
I looked to my mom for an explanation, but she was purposely avoiding my questioning gaze.
Skylar’s eyes swept the room, and when she noticed Alexander sitting at the table, the smile fell from her face.
My blood turned cold. Did these two have a history? This night just kept getting more complicated by the second.

Polin looked at her daughter out of the corner of her eye, and her stomach swooped.
Guilt made her queasy. She knew that she shouldn’t have invited Skylar over without her daughter’s permission, especially because Olivia had spent all afternoon cooking a special meal.
But this was the only night that her old coworker, Skylar, could come over. Polin didn’t want to check with her daughter before she invited Skylar over to her apartment because she was scared that Olivia would’ve said no. Most of the time, Polin went with the motto ask for forgiveness, not permission.
“Everyone, this is my old coworker, turned friend Skylar,” Polin announced to the room.
