Step Daddy's Lakeside Sin V.A.
Richard POVShe had put the phone back in the wrong place.I notice where my phone is the way I notice where my keys are. I always notice. The phone is a MagSafe to a stand on the nightstand I put it on. The stand is angled at forty-five degrees toward the bed. The phone charger cord runs under the nightstand in a particular coil I have done every night for three years. The phone is always at a particular angle on the stand. Tonight the phone was at a different angle. The angle was off by perhaps ten degrees. The angle was off because a woman had picked it up and put it back and had tried to put it back exactly the way she had found it. Millie had picked up my phone.I did not say anything. I went into the bathroom. I looked at my own face in the mirror and what I felt about this was complicated. Shame because she had caught me, shame because she had caught me seeing someone I had not yet told her about, and something small and ugly underneath both of those, which was satisfaction. M
Step Daddy's Lakeside Sin The Pause
Millie POVThe pause lived in my chest for two days.“There's no her,” he had said. “There's no her.”But he had not said “there was never a her.” He had said something smaller, slower, more careful, and the space between “no her now” and “never a her” was the space I had begun to live in. It was a small, ugly furnished room of a space, and I had moved my things into it without deciding to. Adrianna was back. Friday at sundown, pink suitcase, perfume cloud, three new stories about Marcy and Dee and cousin Pippa that I would not remember by Sunday. The cab dropped her at the curb. Richard kissed her in the driveway. Long. Loud. The little practiced sound.“How was Tahoe, baby?” “Divine, just divine, you have to see this cabin, Richard, this… Richard, did you water the ferns? Millie's birthday gift… of course, the closet… of course.”I watched her unpack her suitcase in the master bedroom down the hall and I stood in the doorway of my own bedroom and I knew exactly what she had packed
Step Daddy's Lakeside Sin Confession Game
Richard POVIt rained on the Thursday of the five days. Adrianna would not call it rain. She would call it "a little weather" if she were here, and she was not here, so I let it be rain. We could not go outside. Millie brought the throw blanket from the couch and laid it on the rug in the living room in front of the bay window, because the bay window looked out at the street and she wanted to see the street. She had been wanting to see the street a lot this week. She had a thing about Mrs. Halbrook now. I did not like the thing about Mrs. Halbrook. I did not like that Millie had started watching the neighbors on my behalf because I had asked her to and because watching the neighbors was not something I wanted her to have to do. I sat down on the rug beside her. She leaned into me immediately with the small cold thing of her fitting against the warm thing of me, cheek on my shoulder, hip against my hip.“We're playing a game,” she said.“What game.”“Truth. Dare. Quarters. Whatever.”I
Step Daddy's Lakeside Sin The Watchful Neighbor
Millie POVI watched her from the upstairs window for forty-five minutes.Forty-five minutes of a woman watering her own garden in her own front yard in her own town at six in the evening on a Tuesday when she had supposedly already dropped by. She had been watering the hostas. The hostas did not need watering. I knew because my mother had hosted a Halbrook cocktail party every spring for nine years, and I had learned, through endurance more than interest, that hostas should never be watered in the evening because the wet leaves invited rot, and the Halbrooks had lost three of theirs to rot in 2019, and Mrs. Halbrook had written a small column about it in the “Garden & Grounds” newsletter she self-published.Mrs. Halbrook knew better. Mrs. Halbrook was watering her hostas at six in the evening because Mrs. Halbrook was watching my house. I sat on the window seat in Richard's shirt with my knees pulled to my chest, and I looked at her across the street through the gap in the blinds. Th
Step Daddy's Lakeside Sin The Neighbor At The Door
Richard POVMrs. Halbrook has a casserole I did not ask for and a knock I did not want. She uses the knocker three times, in a row, in that way women of a certain generation do when they are not knocking on a door so much as announcing themselves to the house at large. The knocker is the brass pineapple. Adrianna hates the pineapple. I have opinions about the pineapple but I have not voiced them in years and I am not going to start. Millie is in my shirt. This is the first problem. The second problem is that Millie and I have not been out of the upstairs hallway for the better part of forty minutes and we are both flushed in a way that would be obvious to any woman over sixty who has ever once in her life lived in a house. The third problem is that Mrs. Halbrook has a casserole which means she has been cooking it in her own kitchen and walking it across the street, and Mrs. Halbrook does not cook and walk things across the street lightly. Mrs. Halbrook cooks and walks things across th
Step Daddy's Lakeside Sin Should
Millie POVHe used the wrong word. I keep coming back to this. I keep chewing on the corner of my thumbnail in the upstairs bathroom of my own house, looking at my own face in the mirror, and I keep coming back to this. He said should. He said “this is what it should be.” Should. As if the life we have been stealing in garages and pantries and kitchen counters and on the grass of a lake we don't own was the correct arrangement of the universe, and my mother, three hundred miles south, was the incorrect one. I want to be wrong about what he meant. I want the sentence to mean something smaller than what I think it means. I want it to mean I like today I want it to mean this is what I would have wanted a Tuesday to look like. I want it to mean nothing I have to do anything about. But I watched his face when he said it, and his face was not a face that is saying something small. His face was the same face that said this is my house now when his hand lifted me onto the counter this morning
