She rushed into the room, her face distorted with disgust."Julie, what is the purpose of all this? You're leaving with this dude, Brian? Have you lost your mind? He's not the right guy for you, and he's going to wreck your life!" Mrs. Joy's voice was stern, the worry in her eyes changed into a scolding look.Julie, while obviously shaken by her mother's criticism, kept her ground. "Mom, please try to understand. Brian and I have made this choice together. We love each other, and we want to establish a life together. We're not running away; we're pushing ahead."Mrs. Joy, however, was unrelenting.
