Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem

In the hospital, Blossom, fuming with anger, stormed right up to Claire's room, pointing at her and launched into a tirade.

"In all my years, I've seen all types of women - the two-faced, the saints, the sirens, the whole spectrum. But you, my dear, are a breed of your own!"

"Did your mother forget your brain in her belly when she had you?!"

"How have Elysia and Emmett treated you? How has Mr. Bradford treated your entire family?"

"Your daughter's been in the ER twice, racking up bills in the tens of thousands. Who do you think footed those bills?!"

"You were asked to expose Cecil, that scumbag, for who he truly is. And for whose benefit, huh?!"

"They saved your son's life, raised him with love and care for over five years, treating him as their own. They've been nothing but angels to your family!"

"And how do you repay them? By biting the hand that feeds. How can you be so vile?!"

"You're worse than the 'farmer and the viper' in that fable!"

"And even putting all that aside, what about Emmett? Emmett is your own flesh and blood!"

"Open your eyes wide and look at what the internet is saying about Elysia and Emmett!"

"You two are the scum of the earth, dreaming of taking Emmett back? If the heavens allow it, then they must be blind!"

Blossom was shaking all over, her face red, breathing hard, her chest heaving.
