Familydinner recipes
That was fourteen months ago.
Camille made partner. The Sunday dinners still happen. Theo joined the family company in a junior role and earned his place. Poppy now calls me Gamma Hazel.
Last week, Poppy and I made cookies in my kitchen. Camille sent me a photo afterward with the caption:
Two Vorhees women at work.
I keep that photo on my refrigerator.
I learned that money tests people slowly.
I also learned that silence can look like patience, even when it is really fear.
