“Lauri!” It smelled like freshly baked chocolate-chip cookies. Bree laid her hand on his arm. “Don’t get mad. Let’s give her a chance to explain.” He moved toward the closet and her hand fell away. “I want the best for her, but she exasperates the heck out of me.” Her green eyes were troubled. “I think your high standards make Lauri even more determined to be the wild child and show you she can go her own way.” So first she didn’t like him calling Hilary, and now she was insinuating it was his fault Lauri didn’t toe the line. He hung up his coat.
