In what was the most annoying thing ever, Roddy failed to make any sort of intervention in his wife’s favor, and simply limited himself to silently stand in place. In all honesty, it was to be expected. Roddy Callahan’s determination of always wanting to help people and not cause harm had been one of the qualities that had made Lanie fall in love with him so deeply. At the moment, said quality was irritating Elaine.

Though annoyed with her husband’s lack of action, Lanie savored the moment Kaitin blushed when finding out she and Roddy were married. However, the moment of triumph was cut short when the red-haired woman made mention of having stumbled upon her and Decky’s earlier conversation without her knowledge. Instead of feeling guilty of having been exposed in front of her husband to have been caught talking to her ex-lover, this admission only made Lanie angrier. It seemed like no matter how hard she tried, Kaitlin [i]still[/i] found a way to weasel back into her private life. This thought infuriated the blonde.

[color=darkturquoise]“Indeed, I was, actually! And no, he hasn’t. It just seems like dark times are the ones that bring the [i]eavesdropping snakes[/i] out of their hiding places. Wouldn’t you say so, Kaitlin?”[/color] Lanie replied nastily with a sarcastic smile, venom dripping from her words. It was hard to believe that this same woman had been showering her toddler with kisses and cuddles just hours before.

Speaking of her toddler daughter… When Roddy [i]finally[/i] decided to intervene, he did so in the form of taking out his wallet to show Kaitlin the photo he kept of Ingrid. In it, little Ingy was beaming so widely her blue eyes were nearly squinted closed, wearing an adorable dress with a flower print. From under a brown hat with lace decorations fell her long blond hair in ringlets, and she held a basket full of bright-colored plastic eggs. The photo had clearly been taken for Easter. Instead of softening her demeanor, this action only hardened Elaine. The last thing she wanted was for Kaitlin to have any more information about her private life, much less her daughter. Ingrid was the most sacred thing Lanie had in life.

[color=darkturquoise]“Yep, that’s our little girl!”[/color] Lanie added proudly, making extra emphasis on the word ‘our’. The next words she spoke were laced with an unmistakable threat. [color=darkturquoise]“Looks like you’ve met my whole family now. And let me tell you something: I would go to any lengths to protect my family from any snakes that might try anything to threaten them. You know what I’m saying, Kait?”[/color] Without waiting for an answer, Lanie tightened her grip on her husband's arm and turned her unforgiving stare to him. [color=darkturquoise]"I think it's time for us to head out, Rod. Ingrid must be missing us lots."[/color]
