THE SHADOWED ONYX: A DIAMOND ESTATES NOVEL (2012) - Plot & Excerpts
And the noise. What was that banging, and why was it so close? Wait a second—was someone in her room? She threw back the quilt and popped up on her elbows. Mom stood hunched over Joy’s dresser, rummaging through her underwear and sock drawer. “Mom? What are you doing?” Joy stretched her arms over her head and yawned. Was she dreaming? “I’m packing.” Was she serious? Where was she going? Come to think of it, why was she in Joy’s room packing? Joy glanced down to find the green Samsonite suitcase spread open on the floor with her belongings already filling most of the space. Mom was serious. But she wasn’t going anywhere. Joy was. Mom looked at anything and everything in the room … except Joy. “What’s going on?” Joy sat upright. Mom neatly folded a sweatshirt and tucked it inside the suitcase. She reached back into the depths of the sock drawer and scooped out an armful then dropped them into the zippered pouch on the side. “Are you kicking me out or something?”
