The Parrish Family was 'loaded', as Eliot would put it, 'comfortable', as his mother would put it, and 'well off', as his brother, Alistair, would put it. They had money. Enough money to have put Alistair through private school from pre-k to twelfth grade, and Eliot, along with the youngest Parrish, Louise, down the same path. Enough for a legacy. Enough for Mr. and Mrs. Parrish to constantly worry about their middle son putting 'shame to the family name'.
And, boy, was Eliot shameful. So shameful that, for the summer after his freshman year, his parents sent him away to Kildare Island.
Mr. and Mrs. Parrish decided that the last thing their son needed was to spend the summer with his 'burnout' friends. Not only that, but more than anything else, Mr. and Mrs. Parrish wanted Eliot away from the Boy. And just maybe, Eliot's cousin-the supposedly perfect Kiara Carrera, whom Aunt Anna was always bragging about-would be able to fix him. Maybe Kiara would be the one to lead Eliot down a golden and shining path, and by the time he returned home, he would be exactly what his parents wanted.
Elio doubted it. But he didn't mind the vacation.
