The Wrong Side of Right
“Even Meg was wound up tight and letting it show. Her daily recitation of how many days were left in the campaign had gotten louder and a lot less soothing in the past week. And in direct violation of her self-imposed “Campaign-free Zone” policy, she’d started inviting her own staff to the house every day that she wasn’t out campaigning. In a weird way, it reminded me of home, how my mom used to have her directors and board members over on weekends and evenings, everyone pitching in on behalf of... the Cocina. It was a familiar environment, one that I felt comfortable slipping into.
Since the press conference, something had shifted for Meg. She was alert now, actively involved, maybe even enjoying herself. Seeing how curious I was about the campaign, she’d started giving me things to do, local events to attend alongside her—small ones so far, meetings with supporters who’d asked about me. I jumped at the chance to help, hoping that the more I understood how the campaign machine worked, the more comfortable I would feel as a part of it—not just out on the road or at events, but in day-to-day life too.MoreLess
