12. Emily stood between two security guards on the sidewalk outside the airport terminal. Leigh resisted the impulse to honk at the station wagon that had stopped abruptly in front of her to pick up three red-hatted women who’d bolted in front of traffic with two carts loaded with suitcases. She waited, letting cars behind her go around, while she watched her daughter talk and laugh with the two young men who’d probably been assigned to nab her as soon as she’d exited the plane. Chase’s mother had assured her that there’d be no chance Emily could escape. “Daniel’s made some calls,” she said. “Everything’s taken care of.” Leigh didn’t doubt that. She knew the kind of calls her former father-in-law could and would make the moment he encountered something he disliked, disapproved of, or needed to fix. A rule-breaking granddaughter sent home from a church mission trip who didn’t show up on the flight home would receive his full attention, especially once it was determined she’d skipped the last leg of her trip back to certain punishment and instead got on a plane to make an unannounced visit to the disgraced mother in the Midwest.
