“I’m so glad to see you,” she said.
I laughed. “Melissa, the wedding-that-wasn’t was three weeks ago. You were there for that.”
Since Melissa moved back to Astoria, we didn’t get to see each other anywhere near as much as we would like to but seeing her twice in less than a month felt like a pretty good run. Even if the last time was something I wanted to wipe out of my memory completely.
“I know. But I just wanted to make sure you’re okay,” she said. “I hate that I couldn’t stay with you after everything.”
“It’s not your fault,” I said.
I stepped away from her and into the hug offered first by my mother and then by my father. They then hugged Nick. With the hugs all around finished, my mother pointed behind her to the open door.
“Come on inside,” she said. “We’ll get some lunch.”
I didn’t realize how hungry I was until right then. Nick brought my luggage inside for me and left it in the living room as we went into the kitchen to sit around the table and talk while Mom made her famous tuna melts. The bright, vinegary cucumber salad she put on the side was a taste of home, and I couldn’t help but smile when my father peeled his sandwich apart to sneak potato chips inside.
How well this all was really going to work out had yet to be seen, but for right now, I was happy to be home.
