"Suzie, this is not up for debate. I might have promised you a saloon date, but my priorities have changed. If you cannot understand this, I am afraid I have nothing more to say to you."
Suzie felt like the ground had been dragged out from under her feet.
Her mouth opened and closed in shock for the second time that day. But it hurt even more this time because her mother had been so direct.
"B-But you promised me! You have never gone back on a promise before. S-So why are you doing it this time? I do not understand…"
Suzie tried to make her mother reconsider by dropping hints in the conversation.
She was sure her mother understood what she was not saying out loud.
But despite her clear indication to make her mother realise that she was doing wrong, Suzie ended up pissing her off even more.
