Scott became the first person to abandon the family’s unified defense.
He requested a private interview and admitted exactly how the decision unfolded.
Lauren discovered the discounted upgrades inside the airline app. My father initially proposed that one adult remain in the economy with Emma. For several minutes, a reasonable solution existed.
Then my mother protested.
She had never flown first class and said she had waited her whole life for the experience. She refused to give it up for “Rachel’s child.”
Lauren suggested voting.
Scott claimed he supported leaving an adult with Emma, but his messages proved otherwise.

My father presented two options: leave Emma in Denver until I arrived, or reject every upgrade.
Five adults chose Denver.
Emma never received a vote.
