Skeleton In A Dead Space (A Kelly O'Connell Mystery) - Plot & Excerpts
I’d gotten so absorbed in thinking about what that tiny news brief did or didn’t mean that I lost track of time. I flew up the stairs, trying hard to be gentle even though I wanted to scream that we were all late and they better jump to it. They stumbled around, looking for toothbrushes and the clothes that we laid out the night before—I didn’t exactly approve of the color combinations. Em chose an orange shirt and blue plaid pants, but I didn’t object. I raced downstairs to pour cereal and milk into bowls and pack peanut butter and jelly sandwiches in lunchboxes. Maggie would say, “Peanut butter again?” Mental note: put lunch meat on the grocery list. While they ate their cereal, I went upstairs to throw on slacks and a turtleneck, topped by a blazer—my standard outfit. Maggie was at school in good time, but Em was a bit late. “That’s okay, Mom,” she said. “It’s only pre-school and they aren’t as strict.” I hugged her. Then, frazzled before the day began, I headed to the office.
