My sister blocked the entrance to my own luxury hotel, laughing that I couldn’t afford to enter, and my mother leaned in like she was doing me a favor when she whispered, “Don’t embarrass the family.” They had no idea the building behind that glass was mine, right down to the last polished light in the lobby, and that was the part that made it sting.

“Your daughter is embarrassing. Your sister needs a drama-free day,” my mother said, and the freeway signs to the airport blurred for a second like my eyes couldn’t accept what my ears just heard.
