    ... Jan, please," she said. "We're so glad you and Penny are able to join us this weekend. It's a shame Penny didn't have a date, though."
    
    "Oh, I called in a favor with a friend," Eric said. "Joe. He'll be here in the morning."
    
    Alone in her room after the shower, Penny could hear just enough of the talk from upstairs to know Dad and his lady friend were home. Not wanting to let their guest face Cornelia's nastiness alone, she hurried on her clothes - a peach-colored top and linen pants, and combed her long hair one last careful time in the mirror. As she regarded herself in the glass, Penny couldn't help but recall Cornelia's directive -Seriously, though, exchange that swimsuit - which had been replaying nonstop in her mind throughout her shower. She hated knowing the little bitch had gotten to her so quickly even when Penny had literally laid herself bare for a reconciliation; she'd known it was bound to happen and she'd done her best to steel herself for the occasion, but how could even Cornelia be that cruel? Didn't she care at all that Mom was gone?
    
    Penny didn't know. But, she reminded herself, she did know Cornelia didn't get a vote as to how she chose to embrace her body and its quirks. If the truth be told, she reflected, wasn't that the real reason why she'd agreed to this silly trip? With Mom gone, it was probably her last chance to let Cornelia know her constant attacks wouldn't bring her down anymore?
    
    The swimsuit directive had stung. But Cornelia didn't ...
    ... need to know that!
    
    So Penny's confident smile was genuine when she reached the top of the stairs and found Dad's guest seated at the kitchen table. "Well, hello!" the regal woman said, standing up to greet Penny. "I'm Jan."
    
    "Penny. Nice to meet you, ma'am," and they shook hands.
    
    Dad, who was busying himself at the counter with a bag of frozen shrimp, turned around. "Penny, Professor Blagg here is a numbers geek like yourself. I told her you'd get along famously!"
    
    "You were the math major, were you?" asked Jan.
    
    "I just took pre-calc freshman year in a failed attempt at Phi Beta Kappa," Penny explained. "But it turned out I was pretty good at it, and I figured it was a marketable major."
    
    "Oh, well, I'm a Phi-bate, and you're not missing anything!" said Jan. "It's a boring newsletter and a stick-pin I can't remember the last time I wore."
    
    "I take it you're a prof now?" Penny recalled her father mentioning as much.
    
    "Economics," Jan said with a nod. "Apologies if I put any of you to sleep talking about it."
    
    "Daddy, you're going to share your joke with her, aren't you?" Cornelia said with the smarmy grin that let Penny know an ugly moment was at hand. But she could think of no way to stop it.
    
    Naturally, Dad was oblivious as usual when it came to Cornelia's snottiness. "What joke?" he asked.
    
    "You know, the one you told me on the phone when you first told me about her!If she teaches economics, I sure hope it's home-economics!" She and Eric both burst ...
