The 500-Dollar Wedding
Looking at the woman who, only days ago, had been publicly accusing me online of stealing her money, I felt nothing but cold.
"I am sorry, I am not in the wedding business anymore. I cannot help you."
She panicked instantly. "What is that supposed to mean? You just planned your sister-in-law’s wedding, and now you are saying you are done? You just do not want to take my booking, is that it?"
She dug into her purse and yanked out several thick stacks of cash, slamming them onto the table.
"Laurel, look. I have money. 30,000 dollars, right? I will pay you right now. Please, will you just help me?"
