On the day of the show, the entire studio was packed and millions of people waited in front of the live stream to see me make a fool of myself.
My parents didn't come, but they gave me an ultimatum. They said they couldn't bear the shame and demanded I apologize before the show started, or they'd truly cut me off.
"Noah. Seven days have passed. Have you come to your senses? Apologize to me and Joshua now and I'll pretend nothing happened."
Cindy looked at me, her brow tightly furrowed.
As our eyes met again, I remained completely indifferent.

My in-laws stayed silent, clearly giving their silent approval.
I stayed unimpressed and simply sat across from Cindy.
My action made the entire Swansons glare at me with icy displeasure.
