The next morning was our meeting with the insurance adjuster. I was still upset over the events of last evening, with Lucas’s total rejection of help from my family for his family. But I had to force myself not to think about that now because this was important to the resort's future.
Lucas’ outright denial for help from my family hurt but I didn’t have time to think about it anymore. My focus right now had to be on the adjuster who would be visiting us shortly. We needed the insurance money to help rebuild, and the more the better. Our policy would cover most of the damage, but we quickly had to get the process started with the insurance by getting the adjuster to look at everything and have him make his assessment.
