“Whatever,” she said, sounding like a spoiled adolescent. Though she was the older sister, she didn’t always act like it. “I’m just calling to remind you about this Friday.”
“What about it?”
She sighed dramatically. “Monthly dinner with the family, stupid.”
Jane ignored the “stupid” remark, because although Mary may have been prettier, and more outgoing and popular, they both knew Jane was smarter. Though sometimes that was more of a liability than a asset. Being the “smart and practical” sibling didn’t leave a lot of room for error.
“But we usually do that the last Friday of the month,” she told her sister. “That’s not until next week.”
“Don’t you remember, we decided to do it a week early because Will has a business trip the following week.”
“That’s news to me,” she said.
“I could swear we talked about it.”
“Nope.” But then, since she’d left the practice, there were a lot of things she didn’t hear about until the last minute because no one bothered to call her. She figured it was probably her punishment for deviating from their master plan.
“I’m sure I told you, but whatever. Mom booked our regular table at Via Penna. Seven o’clock.”
“I’ll try to be there.”
“You’ll try? What is your problem? You can’t even make time for your family anymore?”
“Jeez, Mary, don’t have a cow. I’ll definitely be there, okay?”
“I’ll see you Friday,” she said, then hung up without saying goodbye.
Jane grumbled to herself and tossed her phone back into the drawer, then pulled it back out, walked to the closet and dropped it into her purse. It didn’t occur to her until several minutes later that since her birthday was the following day, they were probably planning a party. That was probably the reason they were doing it a week early. No wonder Mary had been so insistent on her being there.
It didn’t excuse the curt conversation, or Mary’s bitchy attitude, but it made Jane feel a little better. And a little less like punching her sister in the nose the next time she saw her.
