Brides and Blades

Mollified, Kerry let go of her need to adjust Aunt Rita’s cake menu, and smiled at her employer, “Awww shucks, boss-lady! You’re the best!”
“Hmph,” Rita grunted, clutching her giant purse more firmly to her chest, as if perhaps Melody and Kerry weren’t to be trusted; she then adjusted her old-fashioned hat and exited with, “Okay then. I’ll expect your delivery tomorrow afternoon, but no earlier than two pm, as I’ll need an afternoon rest with all this working myself to death. And for what? Some ungrateful relatives who don’t mind reaping the benefits of all my back-breaking labor!”
Kerry groaned, shaking her head. As soon as her aunt was out of earshot, she commented, “Oh my God, Aunt Rita is something else, isn’t she? No wonder Uncle Leroy left this earth… her sunny disposition probably poisoned him to death!”
Melody smiled, suspecting Kerry probably inherited her aunt’s opinionated personality, and ability to talk at lightspeed. Though Kerry was liberally tempered with cheerfulness, Rita lacked pretty much any positive modifying trait.
