A Struggle
It was a struggle to get Taylor out of bed to go to school the next morning.
She made up every excuse in the book to try to stay at home. But Mike and Tiffany were not buying it, and in the end, Taylor was made to get dressed and ready to go.
She sulked all the way to school while Tiffany drove. There was no getting through to her, and Tiffany became extra concerned when she got out of the car without so much as a goodbye kiss.
