"Ruby, come back," Mr. Wright called out, his brow furrowed in concern. But his mother raised a steadfast hand, signaling him to stop.
Granny Wright understood the weight of long-held resentment. She knew that no one truly comprehended the depth of grievance that had been festering in Ruby's heart.
As she watched her dear great-granddaughter, normally gentle and peaceful, suddenly rush toward Mia with determination, she recognized the pent-up emotions. Ruby had been harboring a desire for confrontation, and now was the time to face her enemy.
With a wise and knowing gaze, Granny Wright chose not to intervene. Instead, she let Ruby take this crucial step, allowing her to confront the source of her pain and discover the outcome for herself. It was a moment of reckoning, one that would shape Ruby's path forward.
Mrs. Humphrey understood this too and she supported it.
