He didn’t even flinch as he frowned. “Do you think I’d look for trouble for no

reason?”

That was debatable.

The mere sight of Teresa and Margaret irked me so much that I didn’t want to

go downstairs. Before I returned to my room, I said, “You better get rid of

those two women, or I’m out.”

Before I could even step through the door, Margaret came rushing up. “Bry,
