I’m Isabel, 23. Last month, my dad, Jonathan, remarried. His fiancée, Patricia, and I were never very close. She was polite around my dad but distant when we were alone.A month before the wedding, Patricia emailed me saying she and my dad would cover travel costs for all guests. She even sent me what looked like a real plane ticket and asked me not to contact the airline, claiming it could mess up the “group rate.” It seemed odd, but I didn’t question it.
On the day of the wedding, I went to the airport, only to be told my ticket didn’t exist. It wasn’t in the system at all. I was shocked and embarrassed.
