The Runaway Groom

Not bothered by Vivian's outburst, Lulu turned back into the house.

"What do you think you're doing?!" Vivian demanded furiously, feeling that Lulu was being dismissive of her. "Stop right there, Wendy Jones!"

Not interested in upsetting her, Lulu turned to look at Vivian pointedly from head to toe. "Don't try to vent all your frustrations on me because Mr. Slate refused to see you. I'm not at fault-and how did you end up like that anyway?"

"You had to ask?! My car broke down on the way back, and it turns out that my phone was out of juice when I tried to call for a tow truck! I had to stay in the car the entire time and didn't get to wash my face or brush my teeth!"

Lulu inhaled deeply. "Then go wash up before going to bed. I'm going to change too."

"Hey!" Vivian was too frustrated to let this go, just as she dared to unleash her frustrations on Lulu and no one else. "Who do you think you are to tell me what to do?!"

Lulu was at once speechless and not interested in responding, but she scowled as Vivian kept snapping at her. "It's very early, so you best be quiet. Otherwise, I'd have to tell Mr. Slate that you behaved poorly by yelling and waking Star from her sleep."

Vivian's face contorted in rage, and she was not about to calm down when she was being threatened.

Stamping her feet in frustration, she bellowed, "You're complaining to Mr. Slate? How dare you!"
