MY STEPMOM MOCKED THE PROM DRESS MY BROTHER SEWED FOR ME FROM OUR LATE MOM’S JEANS — BUT FATE HAD OTHER PLANS FOR HER.
“Prom dresses are a ridiculous waste of money.”
My stepmom didn’t even glance up from her phone.
I stood in the kitchen holding a flyer about prom deadlines.
“Mom left money for things like this,” I said.
Carla laughed.
“That money keeps this house running now. Besides, nobody wants to see you in some overpriced princess dress.”
Then she dropped HER BRAND-NEW DESIGNER HANDBAG onto the counter.
The tag was still hanging from it.
My dad d:ied last year from a sudden heart attack. Since then, Carla has controlled every dollar in the house, including the money Mom left for me and my younger brother.
So that was the answer.
No dress.
No prom.
