The rest of the ride home was quiet and none of them uttered a word, except for a few occasional glances at each other.
The car stopped near the front gate of their house, but none of them got out of the car. The awkwardness between Lucy and Rose was unbearable.
"So…" Rose let go of the steering wheel and turned off the car. "Umm… we are home."
"I know."
"Are you… not going to get off? I need to park the car," Rose asked nervously and glanced at Lucy.
"I have… something on my mind. I have a question." Lucy turned to Rose and asked, "I am deeply disappointed in you. Although I never had any respect for you in the first place, but…"
Lucy let out a weary sigh and shook her head in disbelief before continuing, "I don't know what to say. Whatever dad did to deserve a terrible wife like you. I am truly saddened that you got my custody instead of dad."
"..." Rose sat there and quietly listened to Lucy's comments.
