overlooked.
Louisa, noticing her daughter had overstepped, stepped in with a forced smile—one that didn’t quite reach her
eyes. Her voice was polite, but the chill in her tone was unmistakable. “Don’t be upset. I'm sure Bonnie's just
concerned about Elissa. After all... her last marriage was such a disaster. We're just looking out for her.”
