Camilla's voice rose in protest, "Dad!" Hurt and disappointment echoed in her tone.
Julia intervened, her voice soothing, "Oh Camilla, don't fight it dear.We took this decision after careful deliberation. Staying back here or going with you to your in-laws' place will only burden you, and it'll make you worried daily."
She lifted Camilla's chin, offering comfort, "Don't feel sad,my dear. You still have many things to accomplish, and us staying will only hold you back. You have to look forward from today onwards and stop worrying about us,you have a new family to look after now."
Camilla's concern was palpable, "Oh Mom, why does me getting married have to be difficult? What if you forget about me?"
