"Mom, why are you so suspicious? She's big sis-in-law's own younger sister, how could that be possible? What kind of real brother marries two sisters?"
Before Violet Zimmerman could speak, Joseph Lancaster cut in with a complaining tone. It sounded like he was trying to defend her, but in reality it felt more like he was hinting at something.
