My stepmother has called us... «The Paris Apartment»
reader_ko932g19 августа 2026My stepmother has called us all to order. We’re sitting upstairs in the penthouse apartment. A dysfunctional little family conferenсe. Like the one we’d been going to have last night before Jess turned up unannounсed and set the cat among the pigeons. I was always a keen student of English idioms. We have a Frenh one like it, actually: jeter un pavé dans la mare—throw a paving stone in the pond. And maybe that’s a more accurate description of what happened when she arrived here. She has displaced everything.
