who: Sama and OPEN where: the main kitchen when: a little after 7am on Sunday morning

Sama had a lot of experience with hitting the ground running after a long flight. She’d tried innumerable tricks over the years, gleaned from coworkers and articles and even the occasional blog post, and she’d found what worked for her. An eye mask to sleep on the flight was crucial, as was putting her hair up in a clip so it didn’t get flat and splashing cold water on her face in the airport bathroom. Of course the most important step was coffee, but only after she’d reached her ultimate destination. If Sama tried to drink coffee before a flight it just made her antsy while she was on the plane, and these days people tended to get nervous if there was an antsy brown person on a plane.

The venti iced coffee Sama got from the Starbucks at JFK gave her the buzz to drive from the city to Woodrow House, in a rental car because she refused to ask one of the drivers to pick at 3:00am, but by the time she pulled up the drive, it was long gone. Sama chose to ignore the mess of feelings bubbling up at the sight of the place where she’d done most of her growing up in favor of focusing on her current objective: more coffee. She carried her suitcase into the kitchen with her, hoping to avoid the sound of the wheels rolling across the entry hall carrying up the stairs. It would be great if Alison’s room wasn’t on the second floor, but she doubted anything in this house had changed that much.

The coffee maker was one thing that had changed, however, and Sama noticed that immediately. Gone was the familiar coffee pot that had been state of the art when Sama left but, she had to remind herself, that had been 14 years ago. State of the art in 1991 was not state of the art in 2005, and Richard had always loved having the latest and greatest. This coffee maker was very fancy, and not a model Sama was used to, but she wasn’t going to let that stop her. She found the light roast coffee, she needed the extra acidity in the morning, a travel mug, so she could bring her coffee into the shower with her, and made sure the reservoir had enough water in it. 

With her hands planted on the counter to either side of the coffee maker, Sama stared it down. “You will not be the coffee pot to defeat me,” she muttered, as much to herself as to the appliance.

I am Matthew!

Hi, I am currently in my fourth semester at the Boston Architectural College, pursuing a Bachelor of Architecture. Originally from Texas, my background includes diverse experiences in pharmaceutical manufacturing and automotive technology. In my free time, I immerse myself in photography, capturing both natural and built environments. As I delve deeper into the field of architecture, I am driven by a passion to engage with and learn from a community of spatial thinkers and creative minds. I'm excited to be part of this journey and to share in the collective exploration of architecture.

@rcubens

If Sama ever bothered to look closely at her feelings about Reuben, she’d find something far nearer to sibling affection than she’d ever claim out loud. At the root of it, unexamined as it was, there was a sameness, or at least a recognition of the parts of herself she liked the least. The little boy who’d spent his first few days at Woodrow House waiting for his aunt to come back for him was not so different from the girl who’d kept a diary so her parents could catch up on the part of her life they’d missed. Reuben’s aunt hadn’t wanted him back any more than Sama’s parents had, they’d just each responded to the situation very differently. 

But Sama did not look closely at her feelings about Reuben, or about anything else. She just tolerated him in her orbit, answering his questions and occasionally checking in on him, because she honestly didn’t trust him to be left entirely to his own devices. So she knew him well enough not to entirely take him at his word. He had a tendency to embellish, relaying things more how he’d like them to be than how they were. Sama could picture the scene, both how Reuben wanted her to, and how it was more likely to have gone. “So what you’re saying is Angus is the one I should be complimenting?” She smiled as if she didn’t know full well that Reuben was saying nothing of the sort.

Sama had plenty of experience with being right when someone else was wrong. It wasn’t something that ever bothered her, but it did require slightly more delicate handling when it came to Reuben. “I suppose there is Elizabeth to consider.” She made the remark more out of charity than anything else. As a general rule, she wasn’t in the habit of conceding other people’s points.

There were a lot of reasons why Sama didn’t think Richard ever wanted to be a father to any of the wards. He hadn’t been around that much. He’d never adopted any of them. And maybe there were reasons or excuses for those facts, but there was one that, in her mind, was irrefutable. “But if he had wanted to be a father figure, I never would have been one of his favorites.” 

With that, Sama took a sip of her coffee, only to realize that she’d already emptied it. By force of habit, she went to the sink to wash it, then left it drying on a dish towel. She returned to where she’d been sitting to pick up her shoes, but she didn’t return to the previous conversation. She’d lost interest in it when her attention was pulled away, and now it was gone. She spared one last pat on the head for Reuben before wandering off. In search of what, she couldn’t really say.

He would never ascribe her the motherly role, Sama was far too grandiose and ambitious to code as doting. Though on very few occasions she extended Reuben a caring hand. Like a big sister who’d read you to sleep, or offer a hug when no one else did. In these rare moments, he’d look back at her like there were stars in his eyes— with all the fondness of someone who harboured a deep seeded crush. Like the affection she afforded him, had never before been extended to him and he was grateful someone deemed him worthy of it. He visibly softens as blond curls are pushed back and nods jovially.

“Was there ever a doubt?” Reuben was malleable. Gullible, some might even say. But, he’d be willing to do anything for rare glimpses of affection and attention. Was it sad? Maybe? But it worked, everyone in the house had one way or another of getting him to fold. Though Sama’s work was far less demanding since they had the years together at Georgetown. She’d ask him to jump and he’d ask how high.

He rolls his eyes at another artfully managed dodge. Everyone had favourites, parents, bosses, siblings. He didn’t believe her for a second. He absorbs her little collision gladly, relieved smile gracing his features. “Thanks, I wrote it after I got drunk with Angus,” the word with was doing some heavy lifting, he drank and Angus tutted. It was one of the many qualities they shared.

He wanted to lay a head on her shoulder but, decided against it. The corner of his lips turn downwards ever so slightly. “I don’t know about never, I think he was glad to get a do over— well, sixteen really. Like guinea pigs so he could rest knowing if Winnie were still around he would’ve been good at the dad thing.” Perhaps she was right, children were meant to be loved by their parents. Not be attempts at restitution.

“Wait a minute— did you want me to add that in so I could get jumped? You’d let that happen to your second favourite sibling? Ok— wait, I’m fine with not being second so long as it means I beat Angus at something,”

who: Sama and @angusbyrne where: the terrace when: after the wake

Sama was exhausted, but restless. She’d been awake far too long and she’d done far too little. Sama didn’t take days off, even when she didn’t go into the office she was always working, but this day, the wake, hadn’t been any kind of work. So now she was wandering around the first floor, one shoe in each hand and swinging them slightly as she walked. And possibly shedding hair pins along the way. She’d taken her hair out of its french twist somewhere around the sunroom, putting the pins in the toes of her shoes since her dress didn’t have pockets.

Sama wasn’t sure what she was looking for. A task that needed doing? A distraction from the memory of her conversation with Alison? Maybe just someone who wanted her here? Or maybe she wasn’t looking for anything, just trying to burn off her leftover energy. If she were still a teenager, or even in her twenties, she might’ve slipped down to the home gym in the basement and the barre Richard bought for her, but her 32 year old knees protested at just the thought. 

So Sama wandered, until she saw Angus out on the terrace. She swung off the door a little as she pulled it open, then jumped when it closed behind her with more force than she’d anticipated. “Who’re you hiding from out here?” She carefully set her shoes on the stone railing, then boosted herself up beside them, swinging her feet slightly as she sat.
