She Hijacked Our Family Vacation

Before the October long weekend, my wife and I spent $8,500 renting an entire vacation lodge so we could treat both sets of parents to a relaxing getaway. But when I arrived with my mom and dad, the courtyard was packed. My wife's sister, Kendra Smith, and her brother, Brady Smith, were grilling. Her aunts, Carol Davis and Joyce Davis, were there, too. My mother-in-law, Diane, greeted me with a smile. "Nolan! We're all family. What's a few extra plates?" I looked at my wife. Sabrina avoided my eyes. "I forgot to mention it. Mom invited a few relatives at the last minute." "Sabrina Smith, that's seven families and six bedrooms. Where is everyone supposed to sleep?" She went quiet, then glanced at my parents. "It's only the two of them. Couldn't they stay at a hotel in town?" Mom immediately bent to pick up her suitcase. "It's fine. Don't fight because of us." At that moment, I stopped wanting to argue. I took the suitcase from her hand. "Mom, Dad. We're leaving." Relief flickered across Sabrina's face. "Drop them off at their hotel, then come back tonight." I met her eyes. "You misunderstood." "I'm leaving with them."
