Evergreen Lodge reminded me of this movie called Dirty Dancing, which my mom had made both me and Lauren watch. The second we turned 12. It had been my mom's favorite movie as a kid. And sometimes I wondered if that movie was the entire reason my mother had fallen in love with my dad. She must have walked into Evergreen Lodge the first time and envisioned baby and Johnny doing their iconic lift in the center of the lobby and just said, that's it. I'm in. Of course, mom and dad's romance hadn't worked out quite as well as the one depicted in the movie. My parents were currently in the midst of finalizing their divorce, which was the entire reason Lauren and I were here, a family of four walked through the doors behind us, toting their skis and snowboards, their parents laughing and holding hands with ruddy faces and wind swept hair. My heart banged. How could people be walking around all happy and carefree when everything was falling apart? Let's get you two settled. Loretta said, clasping her hands, she pivoted on her heel and led us across the lobby. I've reserved one of the bigger rooms on the third floor for you. It has fantastic views of the mountains and the lake. Not that I expect you'll be spending much time in your room. But with everything going on around the resort, wait our room. Lauren said as in one room. Yes, I reserved just the one this time. Your parents thought it would be good for the two of you to spend some time together. You know, family time heat flared through my entire body. How hypocritical could our parents be because of them? There would never be family time again. So why did Lauren and I have to suffer? You've got to be kidding me. Lauren scoffed. Do you have any idea how hypocritical that is girls? Whatever your thoughts on your parents', current situation, you must understand. This is difficult for them too. They're both doing the best they can. If throwing us out and forcing us to share the same room for a week is the best they can do, then we have serious problems. I glanced at Loretta. Maybe I could ask my grandmother if I could come live with her. Maybe if I spent my last year and a half of high school with Loretta, I'd become poised and sophisticated by osmosis. Loretta looked back at me. We should get you an appointment at the salon while you're here. Tess. I don't know what's going on with that hair. Lauren laughed or maybe not.
