Member-only story
[The “Mount Bliss” mini-series continues from our last post, “Fast, Wet, & Slippery.”]
After the long day at the lake and the suggestive movie, when Lo and Lily went to bed that night, Lo got up the guts to ask Lily, “What did you mean when you told me that lying out in the sun naked here is no different than being naked in front of your dad?”
Lily laughed a little and said, “You know we’re French, right?”
“You mean, like French French? I mean, born there?”
“Yeah.”
“I didn’t know that.”
“Oh, I thought I mentioned it.”
“Well, you might have said in passing that your family is French, but I thought that was a few generations ago.”
“No, my dad and his brother Collin came here just before I was born, like twenty-three years ago or so.”
“But they have no accent!”
“Their parents were diplomats and they were raised half in America and half in France. But even in France, they went to the American School.”
“Oh.”
“And your mom?”
“My mom is from D.C. My dad met her when he was at the French Embassy here.”
“Oh.”
