"Today, we all owe our lives to my sister-in-law for turning the tide. Not only were our lives saved, but my brother was even miraculously brought back to life by her! I feel like she's Wonder Woman, or Captain Marvel! A super-awesome Black Widow!"
Aurora Sterling, "..."
Yvonne Vaughn, "..."
Scott and Yvonne Vaughn rolled their eyes. 'Is this daughter of ours a complete fool...?'
Finally, an emotional Sylvia Vaughn realized the flaw in what she'd just said and hurriedly corrected herself. "No! No! I meant my sister-in-law is as beautiful, agile, and smart as Black Widow! She's not a 'black widow'—my brother's alive again, so how could she be a widow..."
Sylvia Vaughn's explanation was weak, and it only grew weaker the more she spoke. In the end, she could only let out a couple of dry laughs to relieve her own embarrassment.
Everyone shot Sylvia Vaughn an exasperated look, but knowing she tended to speak without thinking, no one really took offense.
