Magda’s face wreathed in a maternal smile. “I know you hate the parking levels.”
“What would I do without you, Maggie Mae?”
Magda blushed, looking pleased. “Oh, you do fine, Junie.”
“The jury is still out on that. Will I see you at the pool later?”
“Of course,” Magda replied, buzzing June through the security door to the elevators.
Stepping inside a waiting car, June punched PH and swiped her fob to allow the elevator to ascend to the thirtieth floor. She closed her eyes as she was gently swept upward—like the wings of a bird flying up to her private aerie in the sky.
No, she reminded herself, opening her eyes. Her uncle’s aerie. A temporary refuge. She must never forget this luxury didn’t belong to her. Not anymore. Not for a long time.
And really nothing had ever been hers. Greed had been her parents’ downfall. Had she once been like them? She couldn’t remember.
What did it matter anyway? Nothing she remembered from her idyllic childhood had been real.
