Lori Sentence Examples

Mums, as everyone called Mrs. Reynolds, had been like a second mother to Lori and Carmen.

Mums thought the lack of good parenting was why Lori went wild.

Josh was gone now, and Lori didn't want anything to do with Destiny.

But then, it was Josh who wanted a baby, not Lori.

Surely Lori would have known the difference.

Lori said Josh wanted Carmen and Alex to have the baby if anything happened to him.

It was an open adoption and Lori had every right to see Destiny.

When they entered the living room, Lori's full attention riveted on Destiny.

Destiny drew back, clutching Alex around the neck possessively as she stared at Lori.

Lori's voice brought Carmen's attention back to the visitor.

Lori's disappointed statement left the impression that she expected Destiny to know her.

Lori glanced at Alex.

Lori tested the name and glanced from Carmen to Alex.

For the first time Lori acknowledged the presence of Jonathan.

Lori's voice held an edge.

She glanced at Alex, but his full attention was on Lori.

He tried to shift Destiny so that he had an unobstructed view of Lori.

It's been 14 months, Lori.

Lori's gaze implored Carmen.

Carmen cuddled Destiny close while keeping her attention on Alex and Lori.

Running a hand through his hair in a way that Carmen had grown to recognize as a nervous habit, he addressed Lori in a tone that was both stern and conversational.

When Lori opened her mouth to protest, he continued.

Lori eyed him doubtfully.

Lori marched out of the house stiffly without saying goodbye.

He hesitated, watching as Lori's car head back down the drive.

Lori and Josh had everything going for them, but they were unhappy with each other.

Lori could have kept the baby, the farm and the money, but she chose to "escape" instead.

Deep inside, all she could think about was that Lori might want revenge more than she wanted Destiny.

One person had taken everything from Lori.

They would be Lori's tools of manipulation.

After church, they talked to Katie and Bill about the situation with Lori.

Alex's sister generally had an opinion about everything, so it was no surprise that Katie had one about Lori.

Lori was certainly independent – and ambitious.

It was hard to believe Josh left Lori out of his will completely.

They grew up together, and Lori had a crush on him since they were teens.

Lori was his wife and the mother of his child.

If he had lived, maybe Lori would have kept Destiny.

In any case, Lori deserved to have something – and probably would have if she had contested the will instead of running away.

Josh would have wanted it that way – but what about Lori?

It probably would have been so anyway, but Lori's visit made it more so.

The fact that Lori said she didn't want Destiny when she was born didn't mean that she wasn't feeling bad about it now.

They hadn't even asked Lori about her life.

They expected Lori to return that day, but she didn't.

The lawyer assured Alex that Lori could not take Destiny from them at this point.

And yet, in spite of her comment about only being there for a short time, Lori came back several times to visit Destiny.

Destiny had finally reached the point that she would tolerate being held by Lori, but after a few minutes she was ready to get down or go to Alex, Carmen or Jonathan.

At their inquiry, Lori informed them that she had a home and a job in California near her sister, and that she was on vacation.

A week passed without word from Lori... at least Carmen didn't hear from her.

Carmen assumed Lori had gone back to California.

Most of the time they did, but in the case of Lori, each time Carmen asked him about it, he simply said they would discuss it later.

He used to be awake instantly - another indication that this thing with Lori was troubling him deeper than he would admit.

As she entered the parking lot, she spotted Lori's car.

So Lori was still in Arkansas.

Other than the situation with Lori and the fact that it was a busy day, nothing was different than any other day.

Remembering Lori's car, her stomach tightened.

You met Lori that day, didn't you?

Lori and I aren't having an affair, Carmen.

Not the abbreviated version contrived for a witless or hysterical wife, but the whole thing – including any designs Lori has on you... or you have for her.

Whether he believed it or not, Lori was a threat to their relationship.

If he was interested in Lori, the damage had already been done.

If Lori hadn't admitted that she loved Alex the day Destiny was born, the idea that the two of them were romantically involved probably wouldn't have crossed her mind.

Maybe I should invite Lori over here and we could both talk to her.

The subject of Lori wasn't something she wanted to get back into.

But there was something else – something that might actually be at the core of Lori's resistance.

Alex, Lori had a crush on Josh when they were kids.

You told me that, but Josh was interested in you, not Lori.

But he married Lori.

Could Lori have sent the man?

Maybe Lori wanted Alex to think his wife was having an affair.

That was kind of far out, even for Lori.

After he left the room, the situation with Lori stayed on her mind.

Maybe it would be best if Lori spoke to them about this only through an attorney.

Later that evening while they were alone, Carmen and Alex decided that the next time Lori came by or called, Carmen would talk to her and tell her that the option to take Destiny back had passed.

Lori asked in a cool voice.

When Lori didn't respond, Carmen continued.

Lori, I know I told you in the hospital that I would let you have Destiny when you were ready, but I hadn't talked to Alex about it yet.

Lori, legally and emotionally she is our daughter.

Lori hesitated a moment.

The situation with Lori had been her greatest fear of adoption.

The next week they got the restraining order, but as Carmen witnessed one day on her way home, it didn't stop Lori.

Lori, we had nothing to do with the making of the will.

I don't think he meant it that way, Lori.

His gaze shifted back to Lori.

For a moment Carmen thought Lori was going to cry.

They heard no more from Lori.

The frolicking hadn't been planned, but if the look on Lori's face was any indication, she got the picture.

Lori's expression became wary.

Lori stared at her, a horrified expression on her face.

Would it have been better if it were me, Lori?

Lori caught her breath.

He was drunk, Lori.

I don't really care what they think, Lori.

Lori shook her head, still obviously reluctant to talk to the police.

Lori, you might be able to convince the police that you didn't intend for him to hurt anyone, physically.

It would probably look better for Lori if she called.

When Lori ended the phone call, Carmen invited her to eat supper and was surprised when she accepted.

Lori sat down with her food and looked at each of them in turn.

If it was all true, Lori was really messed up.

Carmen focused on Lori.

Lori stared at the table and mumbled.

Lori stared at her sullenly.

She raised her head and looked Lori in the eye.

I'm sorry, Lori, she said again.

That's not selfish, Lori.

Why had she never considered how difficult it had been for Lori?

A red-eyed Lori went out on the porch and talked to them while Carmen got Destiny ready for bed.

After a while Lori came back in and said she was under arrest.

Destiny reached for her and Lori took her, holding her close.

Destiny wrapped her arms around Lori's neck.

Finally Lori left and the house was quiet.

The man was there because Lori had sent him.

Was he trying to humiliate Lori?

He said he was looking for Lori, but why would he think Lori was there when he knew Alex was away?

All the answers had either died with Josh or would likely remain a secret with Lori.

She never mentioned Lori or the man who had stabbed him – or anything else unpleasant.

As they passed Josh's house, she spied Lori's car.

It was hard to believe Lori would be behind this latest attack.

Maybe the man was driving Lori's car.

If so, Lori might be hurt somewhere.

Ignoring the urge to go see if Lori was at the house, she continued down the road.

Maybe it was too late to help Lori anyway.

Lori's car is at that house.

Later she discovered that Alice had made the call when she went to investigate why Lori's car was there.

She found Lori in the barn, raped and beaten, but still alive.

Was he the reason Alex had hopped on the phone so quickly, and was he the person Alex had been meeting, not Lori?

Lori came by the house that evening.

Of course, since Lori had hired the man who stabbed him, it might not be a good idea.

But then, Lori didn't know about the way Alex reacted when he learned of the pregnancy.

Carmen's attention returned to Lori as she spoke.

Later, after Destiny fell asleep and Jonathan went to his room, Lori regarded her thoughtfully.

But then, Lori surely wouldn't be interested in him now, in his condition... unless she thought he might die and leave her something.

I still want him, Lori.

Lori nodded and sighed.

Lori's laugh was short and humorless.

Finally she looked up at Lori.

Lori said "When does your vacation end?" she asked Lori.

They talked a little longer and then Lori left.

The situation with Lori was another.

In the time that he had been home, he never asked about the man who stabbed him, nor the situation with Lori.

Did he know Lori was behind the attack?

Later that summer Lori was put on probation.

They talked a few more minutes and then ended the call without discussing the stabbing or Lori.

Lori was a topic he didn't want to discuss with anyone.

He never would have thought Lori could be so selfish and greedy.

Lori didn't deserve what he did to her, but she hadn't exactly given him a reason to respect her, either.

Lori had asked Alex to forgive her.

He could forgive her for what the man did – that was his doing, but not for what Lori intended to do to Carmen.

Carmen felt sorry for Lori because of the way Josh had treated her.

Lori's been drooling over him for years.

We've already invited Bill, Lori and Josh.

At the restaurant, Alex whipped the car in between Josh's gray truck and Lori's little red sports car.

Lori would appreciate him.

Alex held a chair for Lori, and Josh glanced uncomfortably at Carmen, running a hand through unruly red hair as he spoke under his breath in a sarcastic tone.

Alex glanced at Josh as he lowered himself to the chair beside Lori.

Lori came to her rescue.

Lori always did have a way with Josh, even back when they were kids and she had a monstrous crush on him.

Lori wrinkled her nose at Josh.

Lori and Alex both looked relieved.

Carmen had barely settled in at home before Lori drove up and whisked Alex away.

Reminding herself that Alex had made no commitment, she still couldn't put the picture of him opening the car door for Lori out of her mind.

She tried to feel happy for them, but all she could feel was animosity toward Lori.

It wasn't as if Lori would know how she felt.

What she needed was something to get her mind off Alex and Lori.

Alex and Lori had been gone over two hours when Josh drove into the yard.

It was Lori and Alex.

Alex got out of the car and leaned down to say something to Lori.

He headed for the house as Lori turned the car around.

Alex was interested in Lori, so he was out of the picture anyway.

He'd spent the last few hours with Lori.

This time they didn't kiss good bye, and Carmen was sure that Lori was the reason.

Alex and Lori had been together most of the day.

If he though Lori was less complicated, he was in for another shock.

But then, he wasn't looking for a permanent relationship, and Lori wouldn't be nudging him to get married.

Lori would be content with things the way they were.

There's nothing going on between Lori and me.

What had Josh caught Alex and Lori doing?

And why was Josh worried about what might be happening between Alex and Lori, anyway?

Apparently Alex didn't want to talk about his relationship with Lori.

So when Lori picked him up again Easter Sunday morning, Carmen said nothing - except a prayer that Josh wouldn't catch him.

If Alex was interested in Lori, Josh had no right to insist he make an honest woman of Carmen.

Of course, it did look suspicious, and if she had come across Lori and Alex doing the same thing...

Still, if Alex had been trying to get somewhere with her, why wouldn't he have tried with Lori?

No doubt he was thinking about Lori.

She was surprised to see him with Lori, rolling in the hay - and there was no question about what was going on this time.

Lori didn't surprise her, but with Josh?

Lori had never made a secret of her feelings for Josh.

This thing with Lori and me only started the other night.

Surely you weren't using Lori to get even.

I wouldn't hurt Lori just to get back at you.

And when you get around to wondering, Lori had enough respect for you and I that she wouldn't horn in on our relationship, either.

He couldn't have been involved with Lori.

And just because Alex went out with Lori a few times a while back doesn't mean he's unfaithful to me.

Did you know he's already called Lori several times this week?

We're not even engaged yet, so if he wants to talk to Lori, I'll have to live with it.

If you're so concerned about Lori, I'd suggest you put a brand on her.

Then he swung the truck around and honked, calling to Lori as she peeked out of the barn.

He must have Lori at his place.

Your stud is back, and the first place he went was to see Lori.

If you'd make an honest woman out of Lori, you wouldn't have to worry about all this.

You're beginning to sound like Lori.

Alex isn't the problem between you and Lori, and he wasn't the problem between you and me.

Keep it up and you'll loose Lori as well.

None of which explained why Alex had stopped to see Lori first.

The fact that Alex stopped to see Lori merely gave Carmen time to get cleaned up.

Alex was interested in Lori.

They were the perfect couple – and Lori didn't want children.

Under the circumstances, Carmen didn't want to drive Alex's truck, so she accepted Josh and Lori's invitation to ride with them.

He patted Lori's hand.

Carmen stared at Lori.

Apparently his relationship with Lori was mostly business.

Because he thought she and Josh were discussing their engagement, not Lori and Josh.

She glanced at Lori.

Carmen glanced at Lori and then at Katie.

His voice faded off as he realized that Lori and Josh were sitting at the opposite end of the table from Carmen.

This engagement dinner is for Lori and me.

He glanced at Lori and shrugged.

I've been openly courting Carmen from day one, but all I have to do is see Lori a couple of times and you think we're romantically involved.

I believe this dinner is for Josh and Lori.

From the expression on Lori's face at those times, she didn't think the romance was over either – at least not for Josh.

If he wanted to keep his marriage together, he'd best let go of his past with Carmen and start focusing on Lori.

With the exception of Lori, a childhood playmate; Katie, the groom's sister; and Saundra, the receptionist at the groom's veterinary clinic – and of course, Carmen, the bride; everyone in attendance was a member of the Reynolds family.

Josh had only been married to Lori a few months.

Oh yes, that would make Lori a member of the Reynolds family too – technically.

Lori's past was a little too liberal for such a conservative family.

Ma Reynolds - Mums, was the undisputed matriarch of the Reynolds family, and she made it clear that Lori would be treated with respect.

Lori picked up a magazine, obviously trying to forget the history between Carmen and her husband.

Lori glanced at Carmen.

Lori lifted her brows.

If Lori and Alex had been intimate in the past, it was none of her business.

Lori stood and followed her.

Lori came in and handed cake to Joan, Mary and Alice.

It was general knowledge that Lori had been promiscuous in her youth.

Lori's expression was contemplative.

Lori had been with Alex so much when she was helping him with his real estate needs that everyone thought they were interested in each other.

Apparently Alex had spent a good deal of that time talking to Lori about another woman.

Still, even knowing that Lori was interested in Josh, it was hard to imagine that she wasn't attracted to Alex.

Neither Lori nor Alex would have considered it inappropriate to have relations – as long as they weren't engaged to anyone at the time.

Lori's desire wasn't born of love.

Josh knew she was afraid of storms, but now he had Lori to think about.

You're married to Lori now.

Lori had said it so many times when they were younger.

Lori would be there today.

Lori was having a rough time of it.

Fifteen minutes later she was knocking on Lori's door.

Lori looked surprised when she answered.

Lori sat down at the table opposite Carmen and folded her hands on the table.

Lori raised her brows.

Lori rolled her eyes.

Lori's sigh was exaggerated.

Lori took the conversation elsewhere, but it remained at the back of Carmen's mind - even after she left and walked to her house.

Lori and Josh's relationship was the one in trouble.

Is something wrong with Lori?

If there was one thing she didn't need to do, it was talk to Lori about what was troubling them.

Josh, this is between you and Lori.

It really isn't any of my business and it would only upset Lori more if I said anything.

Lori didn't want children.

Josh was married to Lori now, but he was territorial.

Josh wouldn't do that to Lori.

Lori didn't want the responsibility of a baby.

But then, Lori must be too.

Still, Lori had been clear enough on that subject.

I guess he and Lori are having problems and he needed someone to talk to.

For Lori and Josh, they were like building blocks being torn down.

Did Josh and Lori actually love each other?

Hopefully it wouldn't involve Josh – or Lori, for that matter.

Maybe he and Lori were fighting.

Maybe he would let it go now and be happy with Lori.

Lori was a good looking woman and there were plenty of men who would whisk her away if Josh didn't treat her right.

Josh didn't drink either, until he married Lori.

Josh wanted a baby but Lori didn't.

Josh and Lori were fighting most of the time now, and Josh was drinking more.

Carmen seemed unaware that Josh still had romantic thoughts about her, but Lori noticed.

Lori didn't deserve the way he treated her.

If what Lori told him was true, Josh made little to no effort.

Sooner or later Lori would give up on him.

She insisted that Josh would never cheat on Lori.

She had played in the creek with Lori and Josh, and finally she had met Alex there.

Have you seen Lori?

They were a conservative family, and Mums said Lori's behavior when she was young was forgivable.

If you see Lori, tell her I said to get her tail back home where she belongs.

He was looking for Lori.

Why were they talking about Josh and Lori?

Even Lori and Katie noticed their coolness toward each other at church.

Katie teased Carmen privately, saying that the honeymoon was over, and Lori asked what they were fighting about.

Do you think Josh might be abusing Lori?

Like when Lori and Josh would come over and they would all go swimming.

Lori had loved him then, but his heart had belonged to Carmen.

Was that why he and Lori fought so much?

Was that why he always ended up at their house, looking for Lori?

Was he looking for Lori, or a lost friend?

Even if she were still interested in Josh, she would never cheat on Alex — nor was it likely that Josh would cheat on Lori.

He had enough to worry about with Lori.

Everybody had a baby — even Lori was expecting now — Lori, who didn't want a baby.

As they entered the yard, Carmen noticed Lori's little red sports car.

Lori was sitting on the porch swing, a red welt on one cheek.

Lori nodded and struggled off the porch swing, her swollen stomach a reminder that babies were still an option for some people.

She glanced at Lori, but Lori's attention was on a gray truck coming up the drive.

How could Lori do this?

This was only the second time she had seen him in that condition — both times since he married Lori.

He stopped and steadied himself, focusing on Carmen first, and then on Lori.

Lori had come here looking for Alex.

He sidled over to Carmen and glanced up at Lori.

Lori, I'm not putting up with this any more.

Lori turned and ran into the house, leaving Carmen and Jonathan to face Josh.

After a few tense minutes Alex emerged with Lori.

Lori was pale and her eyes were swollen and red.

Lori says she's afraid to go back with you.

Josh jerked his head around and stared at Lori accusingly.

Lori pointed at the red spot on her cheek.

Lori glared at him.

The attention had shifted from Lori to Alex, and Carmen was sure things were going according to plan.

Lori was keeping a low profile and apparently Josh had forgotten about her.

Carmen sat down on the swing with Jonathan, and Lori turned to watch the drive again.

Who had called the police — Alex or Lori?

She could hear Lori talking to the trooper, and then they came into the house.

The trooper gave Alex a strange look and then glanced at Lori, who seemed a loss for words.

How could he think he had the right to beat on Lori?

Lori is in physical danger — doubly so because she's pregnant.

Josh and Lori somehow managed to keep their marriage together, but Carmen was having less luck with her problem.
