How Miss Rutherford Got Her Groove Back - Plot & Excerpts
How many times had she opened and closed them now, drifting in and out of sleep, she wondered. Each time she woke, she cursed the fact that her body was stronger than she had thought it might be. Why did she keep on waking up? A quiet knock sounded before a maid entered. She walked briskly across the room to the window and with rapid tugs, opened the burgundy drapes, allowing bright light to flood across the floor. Emily groaned, rolled over, and hid her head beneath the sheets. When she heard the door close, she let out a sigh. Thankfully the maid had decided to leave her alone again, even if she had disturbed her in a most irritating way. Closing her eyes once more, Emily attempted to clear her mind in the hope of returning to a happy sleep, when from out of nowhere, a male voice spoke to her. The tone was firm and direct, one that commanded authority and expected to be obeyed. “Enough is enough, Emily,” he told her severely. “You’ve been cooped up in here for four days now. It’s time you got out of bed and joined the world of the living.”
