CHAPTER 4
Or so Tessa had thought-until now ...
Fighting tears of frustration, she strode down the counter toward the waiting area ...
Where her friend Penny, who'd driven her to the airport, was keeping an eye on the twins ...
Strapped into their side-by-side stroller, Maddie and Missy were getting plenty of attention from passers-by ....
Dressed in identical pink coveralls, with their blue eyes and flame-colored curls, they were truly adorable ....
But when they were tired they could be hysterical and cranky ....
At the sight of their mother they started to cry, bucking against the safety harnesses that kept them in the stroller ....
The closer Tessa came, the louder they screamed ...
Their little arms reached out toward her ...
Missy (FL daughter)
( begging to be picked up and cuddled )
Maddie (FL daughter)
( just wanting to get loose and run )
Tessa's headache was getting worse and the ibuprofen wasn't working fast enough ....
penny (FL friend)
What's wrong? ...
Penny, a perky blonde with a husband and three school-age children, gave her a concerned look ...
Tessa Randall (FL)
( shook her head )
Tessa Randall (FL)
You're not going to believe this ....
Tessa Randall (FL)
My flight's been canceled. Some kind of trouble with the plane ...
penny (FL friend)
Well, if it's their plane at fault, don't they have to get you another flight? ...
Tessa Randall (FL)
So far all the people behind the counter have done is shrug and roll their eyes ...
Tessa Randall (FL)
I'm going back in there again and pitch a fit until I get some results. It may take a little time ...
Tessa Randall (FL)
I just wanted to give you a heads-up ...
penny (FL friend)
( She glanced at the two fussing babies )
penny (FL friend)
Maybe if we wait, the little naughty girls will wear themselves out and go to sleep ...
Tessa Randall (FL)
I put some snacks and juice in the diaper bag ...
Tessa Randall (FL)
That might help settle them down. Sorry about this, Penny. I know you've got other things to do ....
penny (FL friend)
Don't worry about it. And don't come back here until you've got another flight ...
The twins screamed louder as Tessa walked back down the corridor ...
Their cries tore at her heart but turning around to look at them would only make things worse ...
Maybe she should've settled for the generous amount the Trans Pacific lawyers had offered her ...
But as Helen, a fiery advocate for women's rights, had reminded her, there was more at stake here than money ...
Her lawsuit would make an example of Trans Pacific and set a precedent for future cases ...
Tessa Randall (FL)
( Squaring her shoulders and setting her jaw )
Then she marched up to the check-in counter ...
