Amber scoffed, disbelief and irritation mingling in her voice. She couldn’t fathom the audacity of her stepmother to show up at her doorstep and demand explanations. She recalled having made it clear that she had cut ties with Mary and wanted nothing to do with her, so the fact that Mary would come all the
