“Good,” I said, proud that I had been able to smooth over our tension.
                  “I’d like to add something,” Audrey said as she headed for the door.
                  “Of course,” I agreed.
                  “We must show that we are getting along,” Audrey suggested. “And famously.”
    “That makes sense,” I said shaking my head. “The time here was intended for that and that would please our father. Shake on it?”
    I held out my hand. Audrey seemed reluctant at first, but then he shook mine.
    “Deal,” she said looking at me briefly in the eyes.
    “I like that we can meet a business agreement,” I smiled.
    “Of course,” she said pulling her hand away from mine. “You know, most other siblings hug instead of shaking hands.”
    “We both know that we’re not like most siblings,” I interjected. “Furthermore, we shouldn’t be getting ahead of ourselves.”
    “Yes,” Audrey said while looking at the floor with a closed mouth expression. “I’ll see you at dinner tonight then?”
    “Yes, you will, loving sister,” I said cheerily. Audrey smiled back at me in a way that I nearly believed her, and then she closed the door. I had known my sister for all of her life, and no matter how sneaky she could be, she always knew when to take the money and run.

One Week

                  A fresh linen towel was rolled under my arm as I glanced over my usual spot on the top of the hill. The grass had dry spots now that the summer pressed on and less appetizing than it had been in the previous weeks. Surveying the grounds, it was clear to me what the reason was. The pool sat motionlessly, except for the trickle from the water fountain that rested on the north edge. Sebastian must have taken Darla out to see the rest of the property before she left this week. Without my stepbrother swimming in the pool, I decided to take up residency.
    I was only a week away from my world excursion. My friend Rebecca from boarding school decided to spend the first month with me in Europe. Though the initial thought of the two of us trekking across the world seemed enjoyable, on this day, however I didn’t feel excited. In fact, I felt nothing. Just like the waning summer, I had lost my enthusiasm.
    Though Sebastian and I ended our tryst, I still thought of him nearly every minute of the day. Somehow, he had cast a spell on me that couldn’t be lifted, even by common sense. It was difficult to know what about him captivated me. Perhaps he was the muscle-bound lover that got away. Still, I felt that his smile was the most bewitching. Men with the smiles of mischievous boys always knew how to sink their arrows right inside of me.
    I, however, felt that this summer had not vain. As a woman I had grown. In boarding school, if a girl like Darla came along and threatened the object of my affection, I would have sent her screaming home. Sometimes it was just an embarrassing photo of her that leaked from her cellphone. Other times it was replacing her shampoo with hair remover. I’m not proud of what I did, but boarding school was a savage place, and I had to be the fiercest cat in the cage.
    “Sebastian!” I heard Lydia call out from inside of the house. “Don’t!”
    “Fuck this shit!” Sebastian screamed. Then I heard the crash of something large breaking inside of the hallway. Suddenly, my afternoon of tanning had been ruined.
                  “Calm down!” Lydia screamed. I leaned up in time to see my father and brother running from the croquette course.
                  “What’s going on?” my father yelled to me.
                  “I don’t know,” I said with a widened expression. Something had made Sebastian extremely angry.
                  “AH!” Sebastian yelled as the two front doors flew open. He ran shirtless into the
