They Wanted Me Gone, So I Became Unforgettable Chapter 122: Daniel Meets My Mother Properly
Zoe’s POV:My mother had met Daniel in the way that my mother met most things, which was by being present without making it a production.He had been at the house enough times by now that she had learned how he took his coffee and he had learned not to touch anything on her desk without asking and they had reached a comfortable arrangement based on mutual respect and the shared understanding that I was the variable they were both paying attention to.But she had not met him properly.Properly meant a conversation.Not a passing interaction in the kitchen or a hello at the door or the brief exchange over the building on Grant and Fifth which had been about the building more than about anything else.Properly meant sitting down.It happened because of the design committee.The school had decided to redo the common room again, not because the layout I had done two years ago was wrong, it was not wrong, it was correct and everyone knew it, but because the year above had graduated and the
They Wanted Me Gone, So I Became Unforgettable Chapter 121: Noah Tells Me Something I Did Not know
Zoe’s POV:Noah knew about the university plan before I told him.I found this out three days after my conversation with my mother in the studio when he came into my room without knocking which he had been doing since we were children and which I had stopped trying to correct around age twelve when I accepted it was simply a feature of having Noah as a brother.He sat on the floor.Not the bed. The floor. Noah sat on floors when he had something specific to say because sitting on floors was his version of making himself comfortable enough to say it.I looked at him over the top of my notebook.“Mum told you,” I said.“Mum did not tell me anything,” he said. “I heard you talking.”“You were listening outside the studio,” I said.“I was passing the studio,” he said. “The door was open.”“Noah,” I said.“You should have closed the door if you wanted privacy,” he said.This was technically accurate and I chose not to concede it.“What did you hear,” I said.“Enough,” he said.I put the no
They Wanted Me Gone, So I Became Unforgettable Chapter 120: The Thing About My Parents That I Never Said Out Loud
Zoe’s POV:I have been watching my parents my whole life.Not in a strange way. In the way that children who grow up inside something real watch it, because it is there and because it is interesting and because somewhere early on you understand that what is in front of you is not what everyone has and that understanding makes you pay attention.I knew the story before I knew I knew it.Not from being told. My parents did not sit us down and explain what had happened. I pieced it together from the margins of things, from conversations I heard from the top of the stairs and context I gathered from Simone and the photograph wall at the community center and the particular way my grandmother Victoria said your mother’s name, with the specific warmth of someone who had arrived at a feeling late and was making up for lost time.I was about twelve when I understood the whole of it.Not the Meridian Group specifically. The shape of what had happened between my parents. The leaving and the eigh
They Wanted Me Gone, So I Became Unforgettable Chapter 119: What Noah Is Building Now
Zoe’s POV: Noah had decided he wanted to study engineering. He had not announced this the way I would have announced it, with research and a prepared explanation and answers ready for the questions that would follow. He had said it at dinner one evening between eating his vegetables last, which he still did, and asking if there was more bread, which he always did, and my parents had looked at each other and my mother had said tell me more and Noah had said I want to understand how things hold together and my father had said that is engineering and Noah had said yes I know that is why I said it. He had been talking to Dean about structural things for two years. Not formally. Just in the way that Noah gathered information, by finding someone who knew something and asking them about it until he understood it, and Dean knew about structural things from the property law side of it and had started pointing Noah toward actual engineers he knew and Noah had been reading what they recommend
They Wanted Me Gone, So I Became Unforgettable Chapter 118: Daniel Meets My Father
Zoe’s POV:It happened accidentally which was the worst way for it to happen.Not badly. It did not go badly. But I had a version in my head of how Daniel would meet my father that involved preparation and context and the particular conditions under which my father was at his most approachable which was not seven thirty in the morning in the kitchen in the grey sweater before he had finished his coffee.We had been together for three months.Not officially together in the sense of a conversation where we used words like together. Just in the sense of every Saturday and most Thursdays and the occasional Friday and texting in the way of two people who had things to say to each other that did not require occasion.I had not brought him to the house.Not deliberately avoiding it. Just not doing it yet because the house was specific in the way that my house was always going to be specific and I wanted the context to be right.The context was not right at seven thirty on a school morning wh
They Wanted Me Gone, So I Became Unforgettable Chapter 117: Victoria At Eighty
Zoe’s POV:Grandma Victoria turned eighty in the way she did everything, with complete composure and zero tolerance for fuss.She had told us in September that she did not want a party and my mother had said of course and my father had said whatever you want and I had written party in the green notebook and underlined it twice because Victoria saying she did not want a party was not the same as Victoria not wanting to be acknowledged and the difference between those two things was something I had understood about her since I was approximately seven years old.The party was small.Victoria’s definition of small and everyone else’s definition of small were different things but we met in the middle, which was twelve people at the house on the street twelve minutes from ours, which Victoria had been in for several years now and which had a garden she had opinions about and a sitting room with curtains my mother had chosen and which Victoria had been telling people she had chosen herself e
