The Social Climber of Davenport Heights (2002)
“I suppose on some level that was true. But it was just as true that I felt everything with an intensity that I’d never really experienced before.
I went on about my days, putting one foot in front of another and somehow life went on. I spoke with Brynn briefly on the phone, but she asked me not to call her again. According to Dr. Reiser’s latest pronouncement, she needed to face her father’s new marriage without the distraction of her mother’s undoubtedly irrational point of view.
I missed her ...terribly, but gave her the space she requested. I figured that was probably some help. Perhaps that was a kind of true motherhood, willingness to be the lightning rod in the midst of the storms of young adulthood.
I saw David from time to time, often enough to keep up with how his golf game was going. He always volunteered that information. If I wanted to know about Mikki’s pregnancy, I had to politely inquire. He seemed a little disconnected from the process and more than a little embarrassed by it.MoreLess
