A Family Under The Christmas Tree - Plot & Excerpts
The house was dark except for the dining room light. Rain splattered the windows. The heater had kicked on a little while ago to chase away the chilly air. Snow was predicted for Christmas. David wasn’t optimistic about the chances of that. This part of the state of Washington rarely saw the white stuff, but it wasn’t totally unheard of, just unlikely. Troy had fallen asleep a few hours earlier. Though exhausted from his day with Sophie and Riggs, he’d been full of stories about Riggs’s antics and Sophie and all the fun they’d had together. Troy thought the world of Sophie. David didn’t blame him. She was pretty special. Troy had been so proud about helping Sophie clean house that guilt crept up David’s spine. He’d settle up with Sophie on Friday. He’d cut her a check for her time and then he’d feel better. A nagging voice scratched at his consciousness, saying Sophie might not be pleased. He shoved the thought aside. But wasn’t able to put away the unease itching at him.
