Wink of An Eye
“I had the sinking feeling my sister was throwing a coming-home party and I was the guest of honor. Rodney parked behind Tatum and Burke’s truck. My mother’s two-seater sports car was parked in the yard and a shiny red Mercedes convertible was parked behind my van.
“Rodney … what is she doing?” I asked, staring at the bright yellow balloons and yellow ribbon tied to the porch rail.
“Don’t be mad at her, Gypsy. She means well.”
He closed the passenger-side door after I got out. I maneuvered the c...rutches along the walkway, still unable to put any weight on my left foot. I stopped and stared at the Mercedes, praying Dr. Merrick hadn’t taken my mother up on her offer.
Inside, a “Welcome Home” banner stretched across the top of the archway between the living room and the kitchen. Clusters of yellow balloons were taped to each end of the banner; a few strays had escaped and were floating around the ceiling.
I was more than pleasantly surprised, and a bit embarrassed, to discover the Mercedes didn’t belong to Dr.MoreLess
