new drabble - companion to Cultural Heritage - Once a WASP

I've had a little dig at Brian's roots, now it's Justin's turn




He doesn’t wear preppy jackets and he’s happier in trainers than Gucci loafers or Prada boots. He was never too proud to live in Deb’s working-class house or to work at the Diner.

To the country club set the America he inhabits would seem like a totally alien nation.

But watching him schmooze his way round a bunch of art critics, or charm Kinnetik’s most conservative clients and their wives, and, best of all, knowing he can be trusted to eat at a decent restaurant without embarrassing them both, Brian’s extremely grateful that Justin’s never completely abandoned his WASP roots.

Very insightful drabble. I enjoyed reading it.

For all his youth and inexperience in the beginning, I think Brian did appreciate Justin's upbringing and station.

Yes, I think he did. And even more, I think he appreciated how Justin didn't let his background determine who he was going to be in the world.

Sorry it's taken so long to repely. Life has been a little complex of late.
