Don’t Come to Christmas—Sister’s In-Laws Are Visiting...
Please don’t come to the party this year. Amanda’s in-laws are visiting, and it would be… uncomfortable.”The text from my mother glowed on my phone at 11 p.m., the night before the party. I stared at it, hand trembling, my carefully wrapped gift sitting mockingly on the coffee table.My name is Kate Mitchell. I’m 32, and I’d just been uninvited from a party by the very parents whose house I had saved from foreclosure three months ago. The same parents who accepted my help when I emptied my life savings to cover their $100,000 debt.“Uncomfortable?” I typed back, though I already knew what she meant.Amanda, my perfect younger sister, had married into the Wilsons six months ago. Old money, Mayflower lineage, the kind who judge everyone by pedigree.“You know how it is, dear,” Mom’s response came quickly. “The Wilsons are very particular about family image. Amanda doesn’t want to explain… your situation.”My situation. That’s what they called it now. Choosing to be a firefighter, a life of service, instead of climbing the corporate ladder like Amanda. Never mind that my “situation” had kept them from losing everything.I glanced at the Manila envelope on my desk, filled with paperwork proving how I’d cleared their debt. Dad’s desperate calls still echoed in my head:Katie, please. We’re losing the house. Your mother can’t handle this. Amanda’s wedding drained us. The bank won’t extend the loan.”
