Grace Unplugged: a Novel
“Carefully gauging each step, guarding her thoughts, watching her words, trying to contain her excitement and trying to figure this thing out. And her behavior had not gone unnoticed by her parents either. Both of them had mentioned together and separately that she seemed more mature and reasonable lately. Oh, if only they knew.
Several times she had almost opened up to them. But each time Dad had blown it by saying something overly protective or judgmental or even joking at her expense. Sur...e, he was just being Dad, but if he had any idea how many times he’d shut her down, and she’d closed them out. . . . Well, it was probably better this way. This wasn’t the kind of thing she could expect them to be reasonable about. She knew her dad too well. And even though Mom would be hurt, she would understand in time.
By Sunday morning Grace knew it was high time to blow the lid off this thing. And she knew just the place to do it—and how. It wasn’t that she wanted to hurt her mom or embarrass her dad.MoreLess
