kitchen of her big, rambling farmhouse, still in a huff. “Neither of you would have gotten away with a stunt like that when you were teenagers.”
    Though she’d grown plump over the years, and her red hair was mostly gray, she was still a beautiful woman—and a force to be reckoned with. She cast another dark look in her granddaughter’s direction.
    “Believe me, Lark isn’t getting away with it either.” Rachel washed her hands and dried them on a dish towel. “Now, what can I do to help with dinner?”
    Audrey ignored her daughter’s attempt to change the subject. “Then why wouldn’t you let me speak my mind when we were at the school?”
    “Because I didn’t want a public scene. I’m handling the situation, and Lark is well aware of my displeasure. Please, can we just drop it for now?”
    Grace took her mother’s sweater from her and hung it on the hook by the door. “Don’t worry, Mom. Lark is in serious trouble. Rachel let her have it earlier. Now, let’s get the ham out of the oven and eat. I’m starving.”
    Her sister led their mother away, and Rachel reached up to massage her temples.
    “Here.” Will handed her two aspirin and a glass of water. “You look like you could use these.”
    “My savior.” She gulped down the tablets.
    “Is Mom giving you grief?”
    “She doesn’t bother me. It’s the situation in general. Lately I feel like my life is one disaster after another.”
    “Keep your chin up, kid. You’ll survive.”
    “If you say so.”
    Dinner was eaten with the usual noise and confusion that accompanied a Hanover family gathering. Afterward, Grace followed Rachel home. When she came downstairs after changing into a pair of old sweats, her sister handed her a glass of wine.
    “Are the kids asleep?” Grace leaned against the kitchen counter and tapped one polished nail on the granite surface.
    “Jade and Ivy are. They were both exhausted. Lark is listening to her iPod and ignoring me.”
    “She’ll get over it.”
    “Maybe not after I throw her the next curve ball.” Rachel took a sip of wine then set down her glass to pull flour and sugar out of the pantry.
    “What curve ball are you talking about?”
    She set to work mixing up a batch of apple bran muffins. “The camping trip I’m planning. It’ll be easier to enforce the no Rose rule if they aren’t in the same town.”
    Grace eyed her sister with raised brows. “This camping trip wouldn’t have anything to do with the retreat Kane Lafferty was talking about, would it?”
    “It might. I booked a reservation for seven days starting next week.” Rachel cracked the last egg into the bowl then stirred vigorously.
    “I knew it! I told Nolan you had a thing for his buddy. You could barely keep your eyes off him while we were having drinks.”
    Rachel squirmed as she poured the batter into prepared tins. “I don’t have a thing for Kane. Sure, I think—thought he was attractive. Who wouldn’t? But it’s not like I ran off and jumped into bed with the man.”
    “Are you sure?”
    “Grace!” Rachel shut the oven door and turned to glare at her sister. “Of course I’m sure.”
    “Just checking. Did he kiss you?”
    “No, he walked me to my car and left. End of story.”
    “Obviously not or you wouldn’t have planned this camping trip.”
    “The trip isn’t about Kane. It’s about giving Jade and Ivy a great vacation and getting Lark away from her friend. I looked up Granite Lake Retreat online and it seems like a really fun place. That’s all there is to it. Honestly.”
    “I hope so.”
    Rachel set the timer and turned. “Why? I thought you’d be thrilled I’m actually interested in someone for a change.”
    “Normally I would be, and I’ll admit Kane is very sexy in that macho way you seem to go for. Not my type, but seriously hot.”
    “Do you have a point?”
    “I was getting to it. Nolan told me all about Kane, and he doesn’t sound like someone you want to be involved with at the
