A Veiled Antiquity (Torie O'shea Mysteries)
“Rudy came with Mary to drive me home. Mom was waiting at the door as I came up the steps.
“I can make you a bed on the couch if you want. I don’t think you should be climbing too many steps,” she said.
“I’m fine. Really. I’m just a little stiff. All I did was bump my head. They just kept me overnight for observation.”
She looked tired, I noticed. Dark smudges lay underneath her eyes, ruining her otherwise perfect creamy complexion. I wondered if she was tired from just being up in the middle of... the night worrying about me, or from being up all night convincing Sheriff Brooke to call his truce. I was certain that Mother had pep-talked him just as Rudy had with me. This whole idea was probably Rudy and Mother’s to begin with.
“Is that Speed Racer I hear coming in the door?” My grandmother of eighty-one years came in from the kitchen.
“Hello, Granny,” I said.
She gave me a hug. It was a warm, nurturing, loving hug. Then she smacked me on the butt as hard as she could.MoreLess
