Chapter 15 - The baby shower

Kerensa canceled the original family baby shower.
Lenora had planned it.
Naturally.
Instead Kerensa’s sister hosted a small one.
Twenty people.
No company executives.
No strategic seating.
No family speeches.
My father was not invited.
He sent a gift.
A wooden cradle.
Beautiful.
Custom.
Expensive.
Kerensa looked at the card.
For my grandchild.
No mention of her.
She asked:
“Do we keep it?”
“Your call.”
She thought.
Then:
“Yes. The baby didn’t do anything.”
Good.
Then she added her own note to the back of the card:
Gift accepted. Access is not included.
I laughed.
She did not send it.

She just wanted to see the sentence.
