Betrayal and Reckoning in Hornet's Venom
Inside, my husband, Vince Sanders, was lounging in his office, legs crossed, casually sipping hot tea.
"Honey! Come with me, now! Something's happened to Dad and Mom!" I blurted, gasping for air.
He raised his eyes to look at me, his voice cold and detached. "What could possibly have happened? Don't you know I don't deal with anything after work?"
I struggled to catch my breath and pressed on. "They were stung by a queen hornet! It's critical!"
But Vince let out a mocking snort, his tone dripping with disdain. "If they were stung, take them to the hospital. What good can I do? And anyway, I'm busy later—I need to take care of Penny's parents. I don't have time for this nonsense."
