Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath

Finley couldn't help but snicker before bursting into laughter.

"Pfft. Yvonne, you do realize Star will be your sister-in-law, right? You know what that means? It's like she's your brother's future wife. Show her some respect."

Stella just rolled her eyes. She had half a mind to tell him to shut his mouth.

Yvonne's brain seemed to freeze momentarily, and her face turned a shade of blue as she glared at Finley.

The news about Stella and Ronald together wasn't new to her, but the "show her some respect" notion was a bit too much.

Finley's words hit a nerve, and Yvonne exploded.

"Shut your damn mouth, you dolt."

After saying that, she aimed a swift kick at Finley.

Yvonne never had much patience for the Yoder siblings. Finley had an annoying personality, and Skye, well, she had a knack for getting on Yvonne's nerves.

Finley dodged quickly, and Yvonne's kick landed squarely on Finley's suitcase, sending it flying a good thirty feet before it crashed onto the floor with a resounding 'thud.'

The bustling airport crowd barely knew how to react, glancing over briefly before deciding to mind their own business.
