“I saw the scissors when she came out.”
I stared at him. “Ask her.”
Tiffany crossed her arms. “It got caught. It broke. She’s being dramatic.”
I actually laughed, which scared me because it didn’t sound like me.
“It did not snag. It was cut.”
Mrs. Kim said, “I saw the scissors when she came out.”
Tiffany snapped, “Mind your own business.”
That was it. That was all he had.
Dad rubbed his forehead. “Today is not the day for this.”
I could not believe he said that. “Not the day for this? She destroyed Grandma’s necklace.”
Tiffany said, “It was an accident.”
“Then why were you laughing?”
She rolled her eyes. “Because you make everything insane.”
Dad looked exhausted. “Enough. Both of you.”
I almost didn’t go to prom.
That was it. That was all he had.
Not “Tiffany, go to your room.”
Not “Lori, I’m sorry.”
Just enough.
