Willa thought she’d found peace after her divorce—especially with Nolan, a man who loved not just her, but her daughter Ava too. But Nolan’s mother, Darlene, never accepted Ava, treating her like an outsider in quiet, cutting ways.
When Nolan surprised them with a family trip to the Canary Islands, it was supposed to be Ava’s first magical vacation. But when Nolan had to leave for a work emergency, Darlene saw her chance. On the way to the airport, she deliberately let Ava’s boarding pass fly out the car window—sabotaging the trip with a smug smile.Willa, instead of fighting, stayed calm. She took Ava home and turned the lost vacation into a magical staycation—pancakes, aquarium visits, glitter-covered sleepovers. She didn’t let Darlene’s cruelty define the memory.But karma didn’t miss a beat. During a layover, Darlene slipped and fell, lost her passport, and ended up stranded in Europe for five miserable days—bad food, worse lodging, and rerouted luggage.When she returned, she tried to resume control. But Nolan stood firm: “You’re not welcome until you apologize and treat Willa and Ava with respect.”Darlene left—quietly, bitterly.And in the silence that followed, Willa found peace. Because some revenge doesn’t need a plan.The universe already handled it.
