Sophie Hartley And The Facts Of Life - Plot & Excerpts
Even putting her hand on the knob of the door to the attic stairs felt dangerous. If Nora caught her, she was dead meat. Clutching the pile of laundry that someone had left on the stairs below and Sophie had swooped up so that in the event Nora caught her, she could tell Nora she was putting away clean clothes, Sophie opened the door and started up the steps. They didn’t have carpeting, so she had to tread softly. When a step creaked, Sophie stopped and listened. There wasn’t a sound. She hurried the rest of the way to the top, before she could lose her nerve. Good. Both doors—the door to Nora’s room and the door to the storage room across the hall—were open. Sophie was pretty sure she couldn’t be legally charged with trespassing if Nora’s door was open. If it came to that. Calling the police, that is. Sophie shook herself. She was being dramatic. It was only because their dad was so mad at them. If Nora caught her and they got into another fight, all heck would break loose.
