Jon, my step-dad, came out of the kitchen to greet me, drying his hands on a towel. “Is everything okay?” Mom appeared behind him, her brows lifting slightly in question. I definitely got my blues eyes from her. Dad’s had been steely blue, and when turned on me, would cause my blood to freeze. Mom’s were warm and soft, like a summer sky. Her physique would be considered small, especially standing next to Jon, who was almost a foot taller, but her personality was anything but that. Even when she didn’t talk, her energy buzzed like crazed hummingbirds and filled a room with so much intensity, her vibes practically busted out the windows. Jon and Mom had nice contrast and balance between the two of them: Mom’s light brown hair, pale skin tone, and uncontainable energy against Jon’s darker features, and maddeningly calm demeanor. They met at a retreat a few months after we moved to Sandpoint. He and my mom had gone there separately and came home as a couple.
