“I don’t pout and stomp.”
“Yes, you do,” he retorted and took the other half of Briar’s wrap off her plate and took a bite of it winking at her. “Your mom is a people pleaser, Hadlee. She can’t say no.”
“I can say no.”
“Name one time,” he tugged her hair swallowing the mouthful of food. He held up the wrap in his hand, “this is good.”
“Thanks.” She frowned, “I can say no. I say no to the kids in the class all the time. It’s why they wanted me to go with the kids and not Dante alone.” She protested his mocking smile with a glare of her own.
“Maybe to other people’s children but you let this one walk all over you.”
“I do not!”
“Sure, and Hadlee doesn’t pout when she doesn’t get her own way and I am the most easygoing person on the planet.” He laughed loudly at his sarcastic joke.
