Tainted Vows
"Lauren, you’ve gone too far! Apologize to Nora. Right now."
Triumph flickered in Nora’s eyes before she ducked her head, tugged at Michael’s sleeve, and whispered, her voice trembling sweetly, "Michael, don’t blame her. I only wanted to share my favorite drink with her. I forgot… Lauren’s from the city. She’s not used to people like me."
The words dripped with false humility.
Michael’s veins stood out in his temples. He barked in a raised voice, "Does being born in the city make you better than everyone else? Does that give you the right to trample on someone’s kindness?"
