Miss Julia Stirs Up Trouble: A Novel (2013) - Plot & Excerpts
Brushing my hair back with my hands, I determined that if Velma ever used that new hairspray on me again I’d stop going to her. Nothing is worse than hair that’s stiff as a board in a windstorm. I raced up the stairs, wondering if Lloyd would stay at his mother’s or be right behind me to finish the night here. Once in bed, I cowered on my side, frozen half to death but afraid to snuggle up to Sam. One touch of my cold feet and he’d hit the ceiling. I thought I’d never get to sleep, not only for listening for sounds of Lloyd returning, but also because so many thoughts were running through my head. What were Lloyd and James up to? How would I explain my presence to the boy? How would he feel about being spied on? On and on it went, until I woke with a start and found the bed empty beside me and the clock reading almost nine on Wednesday morning. Lord help me, I thought as I hopped out of bed. Not only would I have to come up with an explanation for Lloyd, but I was going to be late for LuAnne’s second cooking lesson at Hazel Marie’s.
