Grapes of Death (2013)
“His gaffe had also served as a catalyst, propelling her into her work week by way of an uncomfortable meeting with her mother first thing Monday morning.
Laura Beckett had made it clear she was not pleased that her oldest daughter had kept something so important from the family. That she’d kept it to herself during a time of family crisis, while admirable, didn’t win her any points.
As Elise worked to redeem herself during that meeting, she’d been consoled by the fact that she’d sent St...uart back to Dallas with her voice ringing in his ears. Still, it was frustrating that even as he’d driven away on Sunday afternoon, he hadn’t seemed to understand the uproar he’d caused or why she’d been so upset by it.

For this reason, Elise tried to cut him some slack at times like this when he worked her very last nerve.MoreLess
