This one must be for you.” Gloria came to stand by the door, and watched as the driver handed Rebecca a slim package and had her sign the form on his clipboard. “Who’s it from?”“Jeremy,” she said.“Are you going to open it?” her mother asked.She fingered the flap. “I’ll wait.” Coward. “I gotta go, Ma. Bye.” She kissed her mom on the cheek, then headed outside, tossing the white envelope onto the passenger’s seat of her car.She drove over to Candace’s Dorchester duplex, and pulled into the driveway. Candace’s grandma, who lied about her age and still lived like she was twenty-five, gave Rebecca a wave. Today, Grandma Woodrow had on bright pink stretch pants and an oversize white T, making her look like the Flashdance dancer—in retirement.“Here to take the first step on your corporate takeover of the gift basket world?” Grandma Woodrow asked.Rebecca laughed, then came around to the passenger’s side of her car to grab the pile of supplies she’d brought.
