"Is it her fault she can't speak? Do you think she wanted this? Sallie, you've always been arrogant and overbearing, but even so, Jessica is your twin brother's wife. How can you talk about her like that?"

Vince was known for being smooth with people, but he never indulged Sallie's spoiled temper. That's why, ever since they were kids, every meeting between them ended in bickering.
