My parents believed that my sister was their lucky star, and they spoiled her so much that she grew up unable to tolerate even a single word of criticism.
My sister got into this college because my parents paid for her spot in an associate degree program.
But on her very first day there, she fell in love with the military training instructor. That night, she called me.
"Cassie, I'm in love with him. What should I do? He's different from other men."
I looked up this man in the campus directory, but it turned out that he was married.
I immediately advised my sister against it, but she thought I was just jealous that she had a boyfriend and complained to our parents.
As a result, my mother called me and yelled, "Cassie Murphy! It's one thing that you can't find a boyfriend yourself, but now you're even jealous of your sister? How shameless can you be!
"Let me tell you, in a few days, your dad, your sister, and I will go to the guy's home to finalize the marriage. You're in charge of picking out the gifts!"
After that, she hung up before I could explain.
When we arrived at the village, heavy snow started falling, creating an icy chill.
