Everything you own, everything you have achieved, cfrom this family." Denver's face paled slightly at her words. "Mom, what are you trying to say?"
"What am I trying to say?" Wilma's voice turned cold, like the bite of winter's wind. "If yox insist on being V with Hadley, then leave this house.
You are no longer a part of this family."
