Molly quickly walked over to Stephanie, tugging her to indicate they should leave. Molly had no desire to stay around with such a woman.

If the lifeguard hadn’t noticed in time, he could have…..”

Molly was seething her words cutting through the air. She couldn’t understand how such a mother could exist.
