Miss Julia Stands Her Ground (2010)
“I don’t know how long I’d sat there, but it was now up into the wee hours of the morning, long enough to put a crick in my neck from leaning against the chair wing.It was past time to be in bed, and I wondered why Sam hadn’t missed me and come looking to see where I was. Well, some people can put aside worries and sleep like babies, but it doesn’t work that way with me. Carefully placing the screen in front of the fire, I tiptoed back into the bedroom and eased into bed so as not to disturb his... rest.My feet were like blocks of ice. I edged them up close to Sam’s without touching them, not wanting to shock him so bad he’d rise up out of bed. Then, inch by inch, I moved my feet closer to his warm ones, gradually inuring him to the drastic change in temperature. He moaned and moved his feet, giving up his warm place—a pure pleasure for me.By morning, I was feeling the effects of sitting up half the night, but of course one does not stay in bed half the day to make up for it.MoreLess
