A Semi-Precious Christmas (2015) - Plot & Excerpts
“I’ll be back in a few hours, and we’ll make sure your Uncle Marty’s doing all right. Have a good nap, Peri.” He pulled me into a swift hug and closed the door behind him with a muted click. I trudged to my bedroom, trailed by two cats. I curled up on my bed, Butterscotch tucked under my chin, gossamer whiskers tickling my cheek. In true kitten form, he had only two speeds—on and off. Thank goodness, he was in “off” mode at the same time I was today. Ginger, the thirteen-year-old tabby that had belonged to my friend, Mrs. Margaret Vaughan, had arranged herself on a chair in the corner. She was still obviously missing her “mom.” Even after six months, she didn’t quite trust me. Goodness! That thought made me pine for Miss Margaret. I’d dug out her recipe for snickerdoodles and planned to serve them in the store tomorrow with her holiday cider, but my plans shattered with those jewelry cases. Miss Margaret’s death had left a real void in my life. Ginger’s, too.
