"Why is mom so vindictive? Dad was so concerned about her health, but she kept saying things about Sarah, which made him angry."

"Why does she hate Sarahiah so much?" Caleb asks Petal.

"I believe she thinks if you leave Sarah and married the woman that rearranged the stores when we were on vacation, the sales will pick up and she could still save the two stores."

"What foolishness is mom thinking?"

"Caleb, was it Sarah who did the rearranging in the stores when we went for the two weeks?"

"Yes."

"Did you tell the workers Sarah is your wife?"

"No, she just told them she was an assistant trainee, well what does it matter? I will not be returning home anyhow, so let's forget it."

"But Caleb, she needs to know she is making a stupid mistake. She believed if you divorce Sarah and married this person, she could save the stores."
