The story
Summer has always taken words literally. When a classmate slips her a cheat sheet, she raises her hand and tells the teacher. When a colleague begs her to take the fall, she names the real culprit. After years away, her biological family, the Sterlings, finally brings her home for a welcome dinner. But Chloe, the girl they raised in her place, ignores the place card and sits between Summer's parents. "Sister, I've sat here for twenty-one years. You don't mind, do you?"
Summer asks why she wouldn't mind. The table goes silent. Her brothers Liam, Mason, and Julian rush to defend Chloe; her mother chases after her; her father Richard asks why she can't get along. Later, at home, her mother demands an apology. Summer asks for the reason. A pearl necklace appears as a gift, but Chloe still wears the jade pendant meant for the Sterling daughter. Summer asks when it will be returned.
Her father promises to discuss the pendant later and mentions transferring her legal residency. Summer looks at him, still waiting for a straight answer.
