When Willa’s husband Nolan surprised her and her daughter Ava with a dream vacation, it was supposed to be magical—Ava’s first plane ride, their first big family trip. But when Nolan got called away last-minute, he asked his mother Darlene and sister Jolene to help them get to the airport.

On the way, Darlene asked Ava for her boarding pass—then “accidentally” let it fly out the car window.No ticket, no flight. Just a smug smile from Darlene, who’d never accepted Ava as “real family.”
