Grim Offerings (Aisling Grimlock Book 2) - Plot & Excerpts
Once midnight rolled around, however, I realized he was too much of a coward to challenge my father’s wrath. Luckily, I didn’t have that problem. If he started to yell, I wasn’t above crying to get my way. He hates it when I cry, and I’ve taught myself to do it on cue. I just think about E.T. dying and I’m golden. I climbed out of my bed and into my slippers. It was one of those huge sleigh beds, and it was too big to sleep in alone. My mother had insisted on buying it as soon as she saw it, the strong lines of the bed calling to her for some reason. When we were kids, Jerry and I used to pretend we were on the high seas and surrounded by sharks, using the boat as home base while we treaded water in dangerous seas. My father had even bought a whole cadre of stuffed sharks for us to play with, enjoying the game enough to mimic Quint from Jaws on rare occasions. While my father was immovable on his bed assignments, he had relented and put Maya and Griffin in the same wing of the house where my old room was located.
