Beth stared with envy as she saw Veronica standing with Liam. "Why is she here? What is she trying to prove?"
Beth didn't understand how someone who was not long ago lying in a hospital room with little chance of opening her eyes again was so dressed up at a party like nothing happened. If Beth didn't know what happened, she would conclude it had been a trick for attention.
Evelyn followed where Beth looked and shared the same confusion. "She must have recovered already. We're always the last to find out. I hope she is better now and told him the truth so he can stop bothering us. I don't want to see another police officer at my door or go to the station."
All the questioning of what happened to Veronica made Evelyn feel like a criminal. How many times did she have to say that she was innocent and her foolish daughter decided to go on a boat when she couldn't swim?
Why bother others when it was Veronica's silly mistake that almost cost her life?
