For crying out loud! Can these people twist absolutely everything into a matter of conscience?
Nia Mitchell hadn't intended to clash with them. Seeing Maxwell Peary's mother today had been too much of a shock. She simply wasn't prepared for it. Especially since Belinda Swan was with her today—someone she held in even lower esteem.
"Please, don't drag my parents into everything."
Nia Mitchell believed that no one appreciated others dragging their parents into arguments.
"So what if I do?"
When it came to being relentlessly argumentative, no one could match Phoebe Harris. For many years, no one had dared to talk back to her or disrespect her. To think this upstart country girl actually dared to yell at her today! Not only would she talk back, but if Nia showed any more disrespect, she was prepared to get physical.
"People like you are the ones who are truly rude and utterly uncivilized!"
