Aron’s plea seemed to stir something in Doris. She paused, her fingers tightening as she slowly turned to face them. Her eyes shimmered with tears, her voice trembling as she whispered, “You’ve already informed him—has he shown up yet? No. He’s about to get married, and his whole world revolves around Rachel now. There seems to be no place for me in his heart anymore.”

Aron and Debby. In the midst of their argument, Doris felt a growing turmoil within her. While Aron’s care for her was apparent, his readiness to accept Rachel into the family wounded her. Doris believed she should be the sole recipient of the White family’s love and attention. The idea of sharing that affection with Rachel was something she found completely unacceptable.
