The PTA meeting ended flawlessly—for me, at least. I'm certain they understood every word I said. My interest in this school isn't just personal; my nieces and nephews from my cousins attend here, and I've invested in this institution as if it were a business—because, in many ways, it is.
From Jane's description of how Tiffany and her little entourage treated Alyssa, complete with evidence and corroboration from Alyssa's friends, I already know my mother-in-law will not take it lightly. She's been silent for weeks, collecting information like breadcrumbs—every word, every calorie of gossip.
But my reason for attending the meeting wasn't only about Alyssa. I came to verify a suspicion: whether Mrs. Smith had any connection to my mother's death.
