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.

Sometimes boundaries begin privately.
