My Dad Kicked Me Out at 18—Then the Hotel Manager Locked the Door

My Dad Kicked Me Out at 18—Then the Hotel Manager Locked the Door My name is Sofia Colby. I am thirty-two years old.I am standing in the lobby of the Harborview Cascades Hotel on a Monday morning, just before nine o’clock, with a leather portfolio worn soft at the corners held against my side — three gold initials still readable on the front clasp, pressed into the leather so long ago the brass has gone dark in the grooves: E.R.C. Edward Raymond Colby. My grandfather. He died eight years ago and left me the only thing he had that was worth leaving, and for a long time I did not know what I was carrying.The lobby smells of lemon oil and recirculated air — the kind of smell that means someone spent the weekend making sure this room looked like a place where decisions get made. The front desk staff have already greeted me once. I told them I was early for a meeting. That was true. I did not tell them what kind of meeting, or that I had driven from Seattle to Annapolis on a Sunday night and slept in my car rather than check into somewhere I could be found.
