"Breck, is there something going on between you and Aurora that I should know about?" Claudia asked.

Breck felt his heart lurch. "No, I just said something that rubbed her the wrong way during our meal. I didn't know about the transfer."

Claudia could be a bit slow sometimes but she could sniff out trouble like a bloodhound.

But Breck's explanation didn't quite cut it. So she asked, “What'd you say to get under her skin? Aurora's not exactly delicate."

Her question left Breck speechless for a moment. Then he replied, "Remember how she wanted me to set her up with a guy? Well, I did but she thought he was a jerk, so I told her to lower her standards a bit."
