My Stepdaughter Invited Me to a Restaurant, I Was Speechless When It Was Time to Pay the Bill

It had been ages since I’d heard from my stepdaughter, Hyacinth. When she called out of the blue and invited me to dinner, I thought maybe this was it—the moment we’d finally make amends. Little did I know, she had something far more surprising in store.

I’m Rufus, 50, and my life has always been steady, maybe a bit too steady. I’ve got a quiet office job, live in a modest house, and most evenings find me with a book or the news on TV. Excitement? Not much of it, and I’ve been content with that. But if there’s one thing I’ve never been able to get a handle on, it’s my relationship with Hyacinth.

We’ve always been distant. Ever since I married her mother, Lilith, when she was a teenager, there’s been a gap between us. Over time, I stopped trying as much, figuring maybe that’s just the way things were going to be. So when she called, sounding unusually cheerful, I was both hopeful and wary. “Hey, Rufus,” she said brightly. “How about dinner? There’s this new place I want to check out.”

I wasn’t sure how to respond at first. We hadn’t spoken in so long. Was she reaching out to patch things up? If she was, I was all in. I’d wanted that for years. So, with a hint of cautious optimism, I agreed. “Sure, just tell me where and when.”
