Chapter 7 - The Desperate Begging
Mom grabbed Darcy’s cardigan sleeve, her voice trembling with desperate, frantic pleading.
"Darcy, please!" Mom cried out, tears smudging her mascara as she looked around at the staring crowd of travelers. "Rebook it! Use your credit card and buy new tickets right now! You have the money! Don't ruin your sister's life!"
Darcy gently but firmly pulled her sleeve out of her mother's grip, her eyes cold as ice.
"You sat on that sofa at the country club and told me not to bring my daughter, Mom," Darcy said, her voice dripping with quiet disappointment. "You watched her cry and didn't care for a single second. You chose Kelsey's arrogance over your own granddaughter's dignity."
"I was just trying to keep the peace!" Mom whimpered, dropping her hands to her sides.
Kelsey fell to her knees on the sidewalk right beside her pink luggage, sobbing hysterically as the airline attendant at the entrance announced that the gate for the Maui flight was officially closed.
"Darcy, please!" Kelsey shrieked, grabbing at Darcy’s jeans. "I'm sorry! I'll apologize to Ren! She can be the head flower girl! She can throw all the petals she wants! Just give us the house back! The hotel rates in Maui are ten thousand dollars a night right now!"
