“Patients Kayla. Today it’s important,” Mrs. Henderson said as she sipped her wine.
“Why is this even necessary, anyway?” Kayla asked.
Mrs. Henderson took a deep breath.
“It is important because Mrs. Miller isn’t an easy person to get along with. I want to show Emily that she’s in way over her head and at the same time get you on the good side of your future mother-in-law and kill two birds with one stone,” Mrs. Henderson replied.
