Lisa’s tantrum
Lisa’s face twisted with fury as an anguished scream tore from her lips. “This is all her fault!” she cried, jabbing a trembling finger in Sarah’s direction. “She’s poisoned you against your own family, Mark! Don’t you see? She’s manipulating you!” Her voice rang out through the church, reverberating off the walls as the guests exchanged uneasy glances, shifting in their seats with discomfort. Overcome with rage, Lisa stomped her feet and flung her arms wildly, toppling a delicate floral arrangement in the process. Tears streamed down her face, her sobs blending with her cries in a chaotic symphony of heartbreak and fury.

Lisa’s Tantrum
A broken bond
Mark watched in helpless horror as his sister unraveled before his eyes. He stepped closer, his voice steady but resolute. “Lisa, stop,” he said firmly. “This isn’t helping anyone. Please, calm down.” But Lisa was beyond reason. Her eyes burned with anguish as she lashed out. “You’re choosing her over me—your own family!” she cried, her voice breaking under the weight of her despair. “I’ve always been there for you, and now you’re throwing me away like I don’t matter!” Her knees buckled as she collapsed to the floor, her sobs echoing through the room. The fury that had consumed her moments earlier dissolved into raw, unrestrained pain, leaving Mark standing in the wake of her heartbreak.
